keyboard question. How do you key in a decimal point if it not included on your keyboard. Like 2. 5 correctly?

Answer 1

Sigh...

Answer 2

Yeah you should totally have a "." key. There isn't a "." alt command. In Word you can goto insert -- symbol then select the period. You could also make a shortcut there.

All in all I'd spend $5 on a new keyboard with a period. Also, freaking post a pic of the irregular keyboard without such an essential character. I have trouble believing it.

Answer 3

As has already been pointed out, the period is the correct way to show the transition from a whole number to a decimal. as in your own example of 2.5.
More importantly is the placment and the transition depending on if you are breaking down the number in tenths ----- .5
Hundreds ------ .05
or thousands ------ .005
It can get a little confusing if like in the case you show a space after the period, and before the 5.
This leads one to believe you have ommited a number.
2. 5
The correct example should be 2.5 not 2. 5

Answer 4

It's absolutely impossible for the decimal (period) not to be on your keyboard. It's right next to the comma which is next to the "M" key. It's also on the numeric keypad on the right side of your keyboard.

Answer 5

You have a keyboard that doesn't have a period? I've never heard of that...

You can turn the onscreen keyboard in and use your mouse to do it (Start / All Programs /Accessories / Accessibility / Onscreen Keyboard)

Answer 6

The decimal point should be 2 keys to the right of the "M" key (the period "." key).

Answer 7

Use the same dot that you've put after 'question, keyboard and 2.'

Answer 8

yes as all before me have pointed out you use the full stop/period for a decimal point.... jack

Answer 9

use a dot

Answer 10

use a full stop???
