        Hi.  I use the num pad quite frequently to read documents, E-mail,
and the Internet.  It is quite handy.  However, often it can be cumbersome
to jump back and forth from the num pad to the left, back to the rest of the
keyboard.

For example, in Outlook while in a message, I press Insert Num pad 2 to read
all.  Then I have to move my right hand all the way over so I can do a
Control Comma or period to move on to the next message or Control D to
delete the message.  Back and forth, back and forth.  It gets rather old as
you can imagine.

My question is are their keystrokes that I'm not aware of that I could use
that are not on the num pad for these particular circumstances, such as a
read all, for example?  There are times it would be much simpler to keep my
hands in the typing position.  The less jumping around I do the better.
Thanks.
