Is it possible to build keystrokes from the numeric keypad into Macro Express?

I want to make a CD-ROM encyclopedia accessible with speech. The screen reader uses the numeric keypad for screen review. (The num lock key is off.) For example Insert-Up Arrow reads the current line with the speech synthesizer. Is it possible to build keystrokes from the numeric keypad into Macro Express?

You should be able to use the numeric keypad keys inside a macro. I would suggest that you test it out to see if it is going to work properly with your particular application. To include numeric keypad keys in the macro, choose the scripting editor to create/modify a macro. Use the Text Type command in the Scripting Editor. The keypad keys can be found under the “Miscellaneous” list of keys.
