ok, here are a few tips.
Remember when using the num pad. The numbers are reversed to a phone
with 1, 2, 3 at bottom on unm pad and top of phone. Leave left hand
on home row. That way when going back to left hand side your hands
will fall natural to keyboard. No more hunting for home row.

I havven't followed this thread much but I never knew about turning the
numlock on to type in numbers using the numpad.
I am pretty slow with typing in numbers when on the phone and needing to
type in a number using the number row.
Would anyone have any tips on how to use the number row when typing in
numbers lets say while you are on the phone? I mean, me remembering a phone
number until I hang up the phone? Not gunna happen lol.
What I mean by tips is people often state when you begin typing, you should
have your fingers on the homerow keys ASDFG etc, so when typing in numbers
on the fly what suggestions would people have? I really like the numpad
route though and turning off the numlock key will not be an issue for me and
that is why I will begin using it. So, someone call me and give me there
number so I can practice lol just kidding.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] question: Number Row or Num Pad
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.
