Barbie,

Here's some info from the Dancing Dots web site:

. Even if you use CakeTalking on a laptop PC you must set the JAWS Keyboard 
Layout to "Desktop" (Jaws/Options/Basics/Use Keyboard Layout). 
. For best results when using CakeTalking on your laptop, Dancing Dots 
recommends that you use a full-size PC Keyboard as many important CakeTalking 
functions
are easily controlled by keystrokes from the num-pad. USB or wireless PC 
keyboards are relatively inexpensive. Some customers have had success with 
auxiliary
num-pad attachments but others have not so try before you buy! However, 
starting with the release of CakeTalking for SONAR 7, there are now alternate 
keystrokes
that trigger certain functions formerly only accessible from the num-pad so 
having a full-size num-pad is now more of a convenience than a necessity.
