To change how information is entered into On-Screen Keyboard

1. Click to open On-Screen Keyboard.
2. Click Options, and then, under To use the On-Screen Keyboard, select the mode you want:

   Typing mode	Description
   Click on keys	In clicking mode, you click the on-screen keys to type text.
   Hover over keys	In hovering mode, you use a mouse or joystick to point to a key for a predefined period of time, and the selected character is typed automatically.
   Scan through keys	In scanning mode, On-Screen Keyboard continually scans the keyboard and highlights areas where you can type keyboard characters by pressing a keyboard shortcut, using a switch input device, or using a device that simulates a mouse click.

   Notes

   • If you're using either hovering mode or scanning mode and accidently minimize On-Screen Keyboard, you can restore it by pointing to it in the taskbar (for hovering mode) or by pressing the scan key (for scanning mode).

   • If you're using a mouse click to select a key in the Scan through keys mode, the mouse pointer must be located over On-Screen Keyboard.

   • The keyboard layout changes in On-Screen Keyboard depending on the language displayed in the active program.
