This was always a concern of mine and I never got over it when I was working.
I was slow using the number row and much preferred the numpad but as
you mentioned I was always forgetting to turn it off again and
messing up my document and having to correct in mistake. In the end
I struggled using the nubmber row. In my case though I was not using
figures much but this certainly would be a pain for someone inputting
a lot of figures.

Dear Friends,
Please help clear up a debate I and some friends had concerning
those folks, using JAWS, and who must be very fast on their
Keyboards, and will need to use numbers a lot during a telephone
conversation, i.e., Customer Services, Reservationists, Telephone Sales.
Do those of you who fall into these categories for employment use
the "Number Row" to input numbers while speed typing to keep up
with a person on the telephone,
Or
Do you hit your "Num Locks Key", and use you or number pad?
I myself would feel worried about using my "Num Pad", as I often
use the "Num Pad" for JAWS or Windows commands, even "routing PC to JAWS".
And I might forget or might get tired of turning it on and off all the time!
Although I must say, I input numbers much faster using the Num Pad!
Thanks for any comments.
With Best Regards,
