A user states that they are having a problem with their word processor on their laptop. Whenever they attempt to type letters with their right hand, numbers and symbols show up instead. Which of the following would address this issue?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. Toggle the function + num lock combination Laptop keyboards share physical keys between alphabetic characters and a numeric keypad overlay. When Num Lock is engaged, pressing keys on the right side of the keyboard outputs numbers and symbols instead of letters. Pressing the Fn + Num Lock key combination toggles Num Lock off, immediately restoring the keys to their letter functions.

Answer

A. Switch to a standardized font Switching fonts changes the visual rendering of characters on screen but has no effect on which characters are generated by keystrokes.

Answer

B. Restore regional settings to default Regional settings control language, locale, and keyboard layout language mapping, but they do not control the numeric overlay triggered by Num Lock.

Answer

D. Connect a full sized external keyboard Connecting an external keyboard is a workaround that avoids the problem rather than resolving the Num Lock configuration issue on the laptop.
