If the keyboard has a numeric keypad, it's a built-in feature and needs no activation. You just use it.


If it has no numeric keypad, you can't use what's not there.


If you're wanting to use certain alpha keys as numbers, that's going to take a lot of manipulation. I suggest if you need a numeric keypad and don't have one you buy a KB with a numeric keypad. Apple sells a good one .. we have three and they work as expected.
