    num lock on latitude E5440? Want to do alt codes for foreign characters....

    I'm assuming you mean the function numbers (0 with M, 1 with J, etc). This doesn't allow the control-alt-number series which gives the accents. I have also tried the numbers above all letters. The reason for asking about this solution was to avoid plugging in another keyboard/number pad...

    Foreign language teacher, new computer this year. No external number pad on the laptop. How do I access the num lock feature to use alt codes to get foreign characters?
