Embedded Numeric Keypad
As you work, you may want to use the embedded numeric keypad (see Figure 1) to enter numbers in spreadsheet or financial programs. The

numeric keypad appear in blue to the right of the main keypad characters. To activate the embedded numeric keypad, press <Num Lk> (the Num
Lock indicator lights up).
