Key Description
Numeric keypad 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. Numbers appear on the front beveled edge of the
numeric keys. Press the Num Lock key to activate the numeric keypad. (When you do so, the Num Lock indicator lights up.)
Press the Num Lock key again to deactivate the numeric keypad.
Arrow keys The Left, Right, Up, and Down arrow keys move the pointer on the screen and also function as the Home,
End, Page Up, and Page Down keys, respectively.
Correction keys The Insert, Back Space, and Delete keys enable you to make corrections in your documents.
Function keys The 12 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 moves it to the Clipboard. You
can then paste the screen shot into a document and print it.
Operator keys
(Shift, Ctrl, Alt keys)

applications, instead of choosing the Save command from a menu, you can hold down Ctrl and press S (referred to as
Ctrl+S). The Shift key operates the same way as on a typewriter; it is used to produce capital letters or special symbols
such as @ and $.
