Using the Keyboard

Your keyboard is very similar to a typewriter’s, but the keyboard has additional keys that perform specific computer-related tasks.

Key	Description
Numeric keypad area	Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the 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.
