I have a usb number pad on my Gateway md2614u laptop, os Win7 home 32 bit. Normally in a chat prog, a text prog (like word) if you type " alt + 0176" you get the degree sign. Why won't it work with the usb number pad?

No ALT key? That would make it kind of tough to enter (Alt + 0176) then wouldn't it?
Each HID (Human Interface Device) has its own driver so you can't "merge" input from other devices to create a single keyboard entry.
I have a Gateway laptop model 2614u. Os Win7 home 32bit. How do I enter a Windows ascii code on a laptop with no built in number keypad? I tried using a generic usb keypad that doesn't have an ALT key. I can't enter the ascii number using the laptop ALT key plus the usb keypad.

I finely stumbled on how to punch in the ascii code using the generic usb number pad. You do it the same way as if the laptop had a built in number pad on the internal keyboard.
