Renette,
The main difference between these laptop layouts is that in the Classic
Laptop layout the Alt key is used in combination with other keys on the
keyboard to perform JAWS functions, whereas in the Laptop layout, the
CapsLock key is used in these combinations. There is a topic in JAWS Help
that lists the keystroke combinations for different keyboard layouts. Both
keyboard layouts were developed for laptop computers that don't normally
have a numeric keypad. Most people, who don't want to carry around an
external numeric keypad to plug into their laptop, use the Laptop layout
since the Alt key combinations used in the Classic Laptop layout are already
in use in many software applications.

Subject: laptop keyboard layout options
Hi
In Jaws, under "options", under "basics" under "use keyboard layout", one
has two options to choose from when using a laptop:
classic laptop and
laptop.
Can anybody please tell me what the difference is?
Thanks.
Renette
