Office Keyboard User’s Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Office Keyboard. This User’s Guide contains
all information that helps you to operate your new Office keyboard. Please
keep the CD Title in a safe place for future maintenance after installation.
1. Introduction:
Office Keyboard has been developed to provide greater efficiency and productivity when
working with a PC. Now you have more hot keys including “Office Hot Key Zone”, “Multimedia
Hot Key Zone”, “PC and Web Hot Key Zone”, “Clipboard Key Zone” and “Application Key
Zone” that make your job more easy and quick access by a simple press of any hot key.
The Scroll Wheel can let you scroll up & down or right & left with an optional “Pop-up” function
that provides you an OnScreen Menu for quick access to frequently used text, task or
application by a simple scroll and click as if you were using a mouse. Using Office Keyboard
you may not only experience the most powerful and user-friendly input device, but also the
personality and comfort.
Office Keyboard is compatible with Win 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP and Office XP. For Win
ME/2000/XP or later operation systems, NO driver is required except the models with
scrolling function, the scroll wheel need the driver to activate function. The “Word”, “Excel”,
“Power Point”, “Calendar” and “Calculator” keys also need shortcut. Basically you can just
plug and play Office Keyboard without driver, or install the driver to empower the keyboard
with more functions.
