Some laptops do have a "full-sized" keyboard, including a number pad. If
yours does, then you could try the desktop layout and see if it works.
Some users plug external keypads into there laptops to "extend" the keyboard
and then run in desktop mode but this has the problem that not all external
number pads are recognised correctly by JAWS or Sibelius.
If in doubt, just run in laptop mode, or get an external full-sized keyboard
and use the desktop mode..

With a laptop containing a num-pad, will Sibelius and Access recognize the
keyboard as a desktop layout, or is laptop layout still the best choice?

Ugur,
You need to make sure that JAWS itself is using the laptop layout.
1. Press JAWS Key + J.
2. If JAWS is running from its own window, the JAWS window will come to the
front, in which case you should press the Alt key to enter the JAWS menus.
3. If JAWS is running from the system tray then the JAWS menus will open
directly from there.
4. From the menus choose Options and then Basics.
5. This should open the JAWS basic options dialog.
6. Tab to the use keyboard layout combo box.
7. Use the arrow keys to select the option called "laptop".
8. Make sure that the option is not the "classic laptop" option,. It must
only read "laptop".
9. Tab to the OK button and press the space bar.
10. Now go back to Sibelius.
11. From the file menu choose quick start.
12. Once the quick start dialog opens press Ctrl+F1 and check the keyboard
layout option again.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [sib-access] laptop issue
Hello,
well this topic has been mentioned a lot but still there is a problem at my
side too.
I installed sibelius access on a laptop but problem here is that in this
laptop jaws 8 is installed. I followed the instructions to configure the
access for the laptop command set, however I think it doesn't recognize my
keyboard setting. whenever I open access options by ctrl+f1, it shows my
keyboard being desktop.
Another thing too, the caps lock key is not working on access as well, I
can't substitute it with insert key either. I.E. I can't read the current
line pressing either caps or insert keys.
One last thing too, in the preferences menu the listboxes are not read
correctly, I get a message saying "no item selected" when I move in a list.
Thanks ýn advance,
Ugur
