Key	Description
Numeric keypad	Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the
area	numeric keypad area to type numbers or to perform
	mathematical calculations such as addition and
	subtraction. Note that you must press the Num Lock key
	to activate the numeric keypad. (When you do so, the
	Num Lock light will be on.)
Navigation keys	Several keys are devoted to moving the cursor on the
	screen.
Correction keys	The Insert, Back Space, and Delete keys enable you to
	make corrections in your documents.
Function keys	The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard
	are used to perform designated tasks. For example, in
	many applications, F1 is the Help key. The task associated
	with each function key may vary from one application to
	the next.
Escape key	The Esc (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.
Print Screen key	The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of the
	screen and places it in the Windows Clipboard. You can
	then paste the screen shot into a document and print it.
Operator keys	Several keys are always used with at least one other key:
	Ctrl, Alt, and Shift. When held down with another key,
	the Ctrl (Control) and Alt (Alternate) keys offer another
	way to give commands. For example, in many
	applications, instead of choosing the Save command from
	a menu, you can hold down Ctrl and press S (referred to
	as Ctrl+S). The Shift key operates the same way as on a
	typewriter; it is used to produce capital letters or special
	symbols such as @ and $.
Windows key	The key with the Windows logo displays the Windows
	Start menu; it is the equivalent of clicking the Start button
	on the taskbar. See “Combinations and Functions with
	the Windows Key” on page 25.

	issue commands. See “Combinations and Functions with
	the Fn Key” on page 27.
Applications key	The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of
	context-sensitive choices. Pressing this key is the
	equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.
