Good evening. I have recently acquired an IBM T40 note book. With the USB numeric pad I cannot get the '5' key to say character or spell etc. More disturbing just this moment though is that when I cursor about with the arrow keys I get Say Word both left and right with the control key, but I do not get letter by letter with the left and right arrow keys alone. When I use INS + 'F' for font and format information I get 0 point even though font is set to Times New Roman 10 point. I have been looking at the settings on this desk top and don't see any difference. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
