[solved] keypad function substitution

hello
does anyone know how you can use the numbers lined up horizontally at the top of every keyboard, as an alternative for the function of the keypad?
I normally use blender on a laptop that does not have a keypad so I can’t change views to camera and others
I have tried to change settings in the User Preferences window, but found nothing that is relevant to the topic
help please?

In the User Preferences, click the System & OpenGL button. Then click the Emulate Numpad button.

I know… it’s not the most obvious location (or name) for that option.
