Using the Keyboard

Your keyboard is very similar to a typewriter’s, but the keyboard has
additional keys that perform specific computer-related tasks.

Key

Description

Numeric keypad area

Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the numeric

keypad area to type numbers or to perform mathematical calculations

such as addition and subtraction. Note that you must press the Num

Lock key to activate the numeric keypad. (When you do so, the Num

Lock light will be on.)

Navigation keys

Several keys are devoted to moving the cursor on the screen.

Correction keys

The Insert, Back Space, and Delete keys enable you to make

corrections in your documents.

Function keys

The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard are used to

perform designated tasks. For example, in many applications, F1 is the

Help key. The task associated with each function key may vary from

one application to the next.

Escape key

The Esc (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.

Print Screen key

The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of the screen and

places it in the Windows Clipboard. You can then paste the screen

shot into a document and print it.
