Yeah Billy. You can use the laptop layout regardless of what keyboard you're using and whether you're sharing the same keyboard with more than one machine or not. This setting is Jaws specific; it won't modify any of your keyboard configurations itself. Just try it out and email back if you still need help.

Amro, sorry if i am a little late with this post, but can i still use the laptop keyboard layout, even if I'm using a USB keyboard on my laptop & desktop as well?,Dinky Doo Billy----- Original Message ----- From: "Amro Bilal" <amro_bilal@xxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 04, 2008 12:37 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Acer again.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----- Original Message ----- From: "TrueBlue & Proud" <hotscot72@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2008 9:17 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Acer again.Thanks Jim, that is so helpful, Dinky Doo Billy----- Original Message ----- From: "jim" <j_doherty2@xxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2008 7:57 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Acer again.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.HtH Jim.----- Original Message ----- From: "TrueBlue & Proud" <hotscot72@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2008 3:16 PM 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.
