Using the Keyboard

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

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.
