HI Jean, I have many laptops, some with the numeric keypad and others that don't.
I have been using window-eyes for over a decade, and have given up on Jaws, except for training purposes. NVDA is also a very nice screen reader and is free. What I have done with laptops at tech shows or on site training folks is avoid the laptop configuration for no matter what screen reader and just carry along a usb 104 qwerty keyboard. That makes my life so much easier!

I have the most current release as of today. I have been a JAWS user for many years, and am trying hard to make the switch. I am very frustrated with keyboard layouts. My laptop has a numpad, but does not have a dedicated six-pack set of keys. It does have separate arrow keys other than the numpad arrow keys. No matter which layout I try, either default or laptop, I find certain keys don't seem to work. It is very frustrating trying to use the mp3 tutorials when, for example, key commands for moving the cursor don't work. Or, the delete key won't delete a message in WLM. Can anyone help me get a layout that works? Is it best to ignore the tutorials altogether? Seems very confusing so far.
