When you try to insert a symbol by holding the ALT key and typing the ANSI
character code on the numeric keypad, nothing happens or the mouse pointer
moves around the screen. If you do this when the NUMLOCK is inactive, you
hear a beep.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when MouseKeys is enabled. The MouseKeys feature
enables you to use the numeric keypad to move the mouse pointer and to
click, double-click, and drag.

document, or disable MouseKeys. To disable MouseKeys, use the following
steps:
- Point to Settings on the Start menu, and click Control Panel.
- Click Accessibility Options.
- Select the Mouse tab.
- Clear the Use MouseKeys box.
- Click OK.
