Hi Robert,

 

Thanks for the reply.  As for the numpad, that really bites.  At least it
wasn't expensive, and I still have the receipt, so I can try to return it or
at least get some money off the wireless keyboard.

 

Cheers,

Will

No, unfortunately, the problem is in the num pad. I have one that I no
longer use because the external numpad seems to have a problem with the
command that causes the jaws cursor to follow the pc cursor. Thus, I now use
a wireless keyboard with my laptop.

Subject: External num pad

 

Hi all,

 

I just got an external number pad since I was sick of hitting the wrong
numbersall the time.  It's a Targus Ultra Mini USB numpad.    When the num
lock on the laptop is on and the num lock on the pad is on, everything works
great, and Jaws reads the numbers.  But if the numlock is off on my laptop
(giving me access to the actual letters so I can type), Jaws only says "num
lock off' anytime I hit any key on the pad.  The numbers show up in the
document or whatever, but I can't hear them as I'm entering data.

 

Does anyone have a fix for this?

 

Thanks,

Will
