Problems
If Num Lock is disabled, attempting an Alt code may cause unexpected results in some applications. For example, Alt+4 can be taken as Alt+←, causing a web browser to go back one page.
Many laptops do not have a separate numeric keypad; however, the Fn key can be used to turn certain keys into a numeric keypad. There usually is a key called Num lock to "shift" certain keys to act as if they were the numeric keypad keys. For example, on keyboards where there is no dedicated num-pad (mostly found on small-medium laptops and netbooks), the following scheme is very common:
| 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
| U | I | O | P |
| J | K | L | Ñ |
| M | , | . | - |

Famous quotes containing the word problems:
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for 30 days because they get infections.... Males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
