I have a laptop with the numeric key pad. My keyboard quite often acts as though the numeric keys are on the right half of the regular keyboard when I have the num lock on. The number keypad also just does the home, right arrowes etc. How do I get it out of this mode so I can use it normally?

Hi, I am Barbara. I need to know how to access codes for letters. I am used to using 3 letters in Swedish correspondence, one of which is a with two dots over it (ä). The code is Alt+132 but when I type that I get a musical note ♪ Help! Barbara.
Answer
It looks like you've got a different character set. Try 228, or 0132. I hope it works. If it won't - you should probably read about Shift states for Windows symbols. If you'll use Shift states you'll be able to bind ä to AltGr (right alt) + a, which is a lot faster. ;)
Question
I love these! How can I print out a paper copy? I'm an old ♀.
