Billy, and if you're a Jaws user don't forget to change the keyboard
layout in Jaws to laptop. You do that in options/basics. And if you can't
really live without the number pad you can get a USB one from any of the
high street computer shops. For what it worth, I even use the laptop
keyboard layout with my desktop. I like to have both the caps lock key as
well as the insert key function as the Jaws key. Just as an example, I
find it easier to press caps lock with f7 to get the links list in IE and
caps lock with f12 to get the time. It's even easier to press caps lock
with the letter k or with number 5 to read/spell a word for instance
rather than having my both hands stretched to the left to do that with
insert + 5. Honestly the Laptop layout is a lot more fun to use! Maybe
I'm missing something or maybe because my first two computers were
laptops, but I feel that FS should really merge the two Jaws keyboard
layout options into one.
HTH,
Amro

Billy, I too have just obtained a laptop and I find that by using jaws
key and 1, it goes into help mode and most of the keys on the keyboard
are spoken out, giving you a clue as to the layout.

Subject: [access-uk] Acer again.
hi guys, sorry for the Acer post again, but I have now received my
Acer Aspire5920 laptop, and need some hints/tips on how to recognise
functions ETC. Some help with the layout of the keyboard would be of
great help as well.
I have never used a laptop computer before, and it is quite a task,
