Using the Embedded Numeric Keypad

Most desktop computer keyboards have a numeric keypad in addition to the regular keyboard keys. Your PowerBook keyboard has a numeric keypad incorporated in the standard keyboard keys. Keys used for the numeric keypad have a smaller secondary label.

To use the numeric keypad, press the Num Lock key on the keyboard. The light next to the Num Lock key turns on, indicating that the keypad is active. When you’re finished, press the Num Lock key again to turn it off.

Note: When the numeric keypad is active, other keys and keyboard equivalents for menu commands (such as x-Q to quit) are deactivated.
