That's what I have on this full-size 6-year-old Toshiba laptop which includes a numeric pad and nearlyfull-size keys. The keys which would be the six-pack are in a row next toF12, and some features like Scroll-lock are done with another key combinedwith the FN key. But I have gotten used to it.

I was very surprised to discover the lack ofthekeys you mention. I have set my caps lock key to act as the insert key.The page-up, page-down, and other functions have to be performed using thefunction key combined with the control and shift keys. When I have to doalot of typing, I use an external keyboard. When I bought the computer, Ididn't even thhink to ask whether these keys were present; I just assumed. Silly me! Hope this helps, Jan -----Original Message----- From: Jo Taliaferro via Talk Sent: Monday, July 04, 2016 7:06 AM To: Talk Subject: Asus PC and window eyesI have an Asus PC and believe it or not, I cannot find the insert page up our page down keys Ashley, this is a Zen book so I'm sure the keyboard is limited. What do you all use and what is your experience with a Bluetoothkeyboard? Sorry, should be actually. I have windows 10 on the computer and Microsoft support removed my version of window eyes when they werereinstalling office 2016 for me. I would like to use Microsoft outlookbut no one seems to be able to get Outlook to work with my other Microsoft office programs, especially Microsoft word. I feel very stuck and havewanted to figure this out on my own and now I'm in way over my head. Any help please I did ask for a link from the support staff but apparently itdid not come through. Spyware is web root which Best Buy installed for me.It might be blocking The installation of other software. I can tell it'sgoing to be a long day Jo Taliaferro _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
