The numbers above the keyboard are used for entering numerical data in typing lessons.If you have a lot of numbers to enter, you should use the ten-key, which is to the right of a standard keyboard.You can learn to key in data this way.
Step 1: The number lock needs to be on.
The corresponding light is on if you press the num lock button.If the number lock is not on, pressing keys on a number pad will usually do the other thing that is written on them, typically some combination of arrow and page up/page down keys.
Step 2: Put your middle finger on the key.
There will be a small ridge on this key so that you can easily find it.
Step 3: If you have a right-handed ten-key pad, place your ring finger on the 4.
For ten-key work, this is the home row position.
Step 4: You can practice typing combinations of the home row numbers without looking at your hand.
Step 5: The numbers are above the home row.
You can type the 7 with your index finger, the 8 with the middle finger and the 9 with a ring finger.When you are done with these digits, bring your fingers back to the home row.
Step 6: The home row has numbers below it.
You can type with your index finger, middle finger or ring finger.When you are done with the digits, return your fingers to the home row.
Step 7: You can type the 0 with your thumb.
This is part of the home row.
Step 8: Work on all the digits.
Step 9: The key to entering data is the decimal point.
The ring finger is used to type the decimal point.Practice typing.
Step 10: Feel the location of the 'enter' key, the + symbol and the /, *, and - symbols to learn.
The home row position is complete when you press "enter" with your pinkie.You can reach the + with either your pinkie or ring finger.The buttons allow you to type operations directly into most calculator programs.
Step 11: You should build your speed and accuracy.
You will get better at it as you use the ten-key more.
