Venue 8 Pro start screen keyboard

The only dumb question is the one un-asked. ---------------------------------------- Charms bar (left swipe from right side of screen) Settings > Keyboard icon > 'Touch keyboard and handwriting panel' ========================= Note #1: the Start screen touch keyboard should auto-popup when you start typing in any text from the Start screen interface. ---------------------------------------- Note #2: the popup touch keyboard does NOT auto popup when typing is initiated in the Desktop interface but can be popped up from the keyboard icon visible on the taskbar(rightside). ----------------------------------------- Note #3: the popup touch screen keyboard in both Desktop and Start screen interfaces is the basic touch keyboard layout. If you want the traditional/full keyboard layout w/traditional key locations + Fn/Alt keys that doesn't require toggling between layouts as in the basic Touch keyboard layout, then... Charms Bar (left swipe from right side of screen) Settings > 'Change PC settings' > 'PC and devices' > Typing > Touch keyboard .... 'Add the standard keyboard layout as a touch keyboard option. --------------------------------------------- Now the 'standard keyboard' will be available as a 4th keyboard option[basic, split, handwriting, 'standard/full], when the keyboard icon(bottom right corner of touch keyboard layout) is selected.(note: the 'empty keyboard icon w/down arrow makes the keyboard close) ============================== PS note to Dell Forum admins/mods: it sure would be nice if the posting script would recognize typing 'breaks'/paragraphs so as to make reading posts easier and not have every sentence be a run-on sentence into the next paragraph. Unless I'm missing some basic option that I don't see here.
