Using the keyboard

keys, function keys, and special Windows
®
keys, providing all
the functionality of a full-size keyboard.
Sample keyboard
Character keys
Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a
typewriter, except that:
❖ The space bar creates a space character instead of just
passing over an area of the page.
❖ The lowercase letter l (el) and the number 1 are not
interchangeable.
❖ The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not
interchangeable.
