All laptops I've ever used have a pseudo numeric keyboard: press the NumLock
button, then use the keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard (m=0, j=1,
k=2, etc). Normally the numeric characters are shown in miniature on the
front of the keys.

hi, i probably did this a bit wrong, so sorry if it doesnt make sense, but
i'm trying to amend my own post.
i have a laptop..... so no separate numeric bit on the keyboard. i can
find
the symbol font ( yey i'm a genius!) but not the division symbol in it,
and i
can't get the codes that people offered me to work (i'm guessing its as i
don't have the numeric keyboard bit that ya get on a pc).... and i can't
get
my character map up either (i'm using the evil xp so i don't know where to
find it)
if anyone has a suggestion, could they possibly help and use really really
simple steps and idiot proof terms for me (*does sheepish look*)

my mum is a primary school teacher.. she wants to use microsoft word to
create a list of simple sums for her class... like ' 16 shared by 4=
four'
. but we can't find a mathematical divide symbol, even in 'symbols'.....
only
these ones are close, and they appear on the keyboard anyway!.....
: - + = /....
we need one of the standard ones with the horizontal stripe and a dot
both
top and bottom....
any help would be really greatfully received... something easy would also
be
good as she's not very computer literate!
thanks! :-)
