Most laptops have an option like hold the windows key and the right side of
the keyboard becomes a numberpad (I know Toshiba do), however it's not an
option I use myself as I said sinse I'm actually more used to living without
the pad, still it should be there on most laptops if you want it.

Charles, it might be worth a quick Google to see whether there's any
free software for Windows that can simulate an imbedded numpad on your
laptop. The idea sprang to mind because I use the numpad a lot over on
the Mac side, and Apple stopped imbedding them a few years back, but
there are a few solid options to get that functionality even on
machines that weren't intended to have it in the first place.
Good luck
Scott

Since I took the time to learn the number pad, I now use it all the time.
Unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have one. I've got a conventional
external
keyboard hooked to it when using it at home, though, so I do have the
number
pad available. It does make sense to use it for entering numbers. After
all, that's what it's for! And, seeing as it is right there at your
right
hand, why not use it?

Hi Charles,
Interesting you had never used the number pad until you worked there.
Seems to me that would be the logical choice for anyone wanting to
enter several numbers at a time. Sure, for quickly writing down say a
date or time I'll use the top row of the keyboard but for most things
like phone numbers, credit card numbers, or any long number I'll use
the number pad because it is quicker and more efficient. That is one
reason I prefer laptops with a number pad on them.

Odd that you mention the number pad. I never used it until I started
working there. Someone asked me why I didn't use it, and I said that I
didn't use it because I just never had worked with it before. Over my
lunch
period, I experimented and learned to use it.
