Problem

Solutions: Laptops without a number pad, such as some made by Compaq, often have a section of the keyboard (usually on the right side) that can be used as a number pad. Toggling between letters and the number pad is done by using the FN key or some other special key. Keys that require FN have the key name in a different color (usually blue) and/or have the key name on the front of the key. Some newer laptops and notebooks have dedicated Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys on the right side or bottom of the keyboard. If the name of the key is on top and not in a special color, the FN key should not be required. If the FN key is required, make sure the customer is not using any special keyboard setup in WordPerfect (Shift-F1, 5), and make sure there are no TSRs resident. If the Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys still do not function without the FN key, the customer needs to check with a dealer to see if the laptop is working correctly.
