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:
“I respect guilt. It is a dangerous but sometimes useful beast. The guilt that made me want to solve all my children’s problems meant trouble. The guilt that made me question my role in our mother-daughter squabbles proved helpful. Yes, I care about my kids’ problems, and I long to make suggestions. But these days I wait for children to ask for help, and I give it sparingly. Some things can’t be fixed, and I tell them so.”
—Susan Ferraro (20th century)
“The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
“I was a wonderful parent before I had children. I was an expert on why everyone else was having problems with theirs. Then I had three of my own.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
