I did google it and apparently the embedded numpad has been withdrawn from recent MacBooks but the following may be of interest that I copied from a Apple support page.result.
Beginning of quote . "Ah, I found a way to solve my problem after some copious googling over the last few days, and I'm smacking myself in the head over how easy it is. In short, there is an preferencepane one can download called KeyRemap4MacBook, found at : http://www.pqrs.org/tekezo/macosx/keyremap4macbook/ which, once installed, enables one to remap the fn-key to fn-key-with-numlock. fn-key-with-numlock enables the "missing" embedded numeric keypad if one has a macbook. This isn't the only functionality KeyRemap4MacBook has, though, but it's what I was most concerned with, personally. I just used it now and it works perfect. I can still use the regular fn-key + f1..f12 as normal while using the embedded keypad. I'm feeling happy about it all now Hope others can restore their missing keypads too!" End of quote I guess you have to check it does not interfere with Voiceover keys combinations though.
