QUICK NUMERIC KEYPAD
BEGINNER TYPING LESSON
Learn To Type Fast on the Numeric Keypad

For quick general rules for typing on your keypad check out what I have termed an Internet typing lesson for beginners. It's just the basic rules, though, of typing quickly the regular keys on your keyboard.

The below is a Numeric Keypad typing lesson for beginners. Again, it's just a small outline of the basics how to type on the Numeric Keypad, which is on the right side of the keyboard.

It is good to learn typing on the Numeric Keypad too, in order to be able to type the numbers on the keypad with one hand without looking at the keyboard. (Use only the right hand when typing on the keypad.)

(If you want to take a full typing lessons to learn both how to type the keys as well as keying on the numeric keypad, I suggest that you buy a Typing Tutor Program.

It has typing lessons for beginners and more advanced typists and teaches both typing the keyboard keys as well as the numbers on the keyboard - above the letter rows as well as on the numeric keypad to the right of the keyboard.

Some Typing Games software, too, will help you learn to type the numerals on the keyboard, including on the keypad.)

Place your fingers on the Home Row (middle row) on the numeric keypad in the following order:

Thumb finger - on the 0

Index finger - on the 4

Middle finger - on the 5

Ring finger - on the 6

Little finger - on the Enter key

To type the numbers of the upper row, place your fingers in this order:

Index finger - 7

Middle finger - 8

Ring finger - 9

To type the lower row numbers, place your fingers in this order:

Index finger - 1

Middle finger - 2

Ring finger - 3

That's it. Short and sweet. Of course, keep practicing to really get used to it and increase your typing speed.

Note: It's a good thing that you learn the number keys too. There are expert typists out there who can type really fast on the keyboard, but when it comes to the numeric keypad they can't touch type, even after years of typing, because they never learned the simple techniques how to type on the keypad.

If you plan to do typing jobs and data entry work, mastering the keypad is even more useful. It will help you type the numbers and enter numeric data in the computer at fast speed.
