Topic: Expanding hierarchies

I have just discovered that the facility to expand items in a Recorder 6 hierarchy doesn’t work on my laptop, a Microsoft Surface Book. On my desktop, selecting an item, e.g. a survey event in the observation hierarchy, or a location in the location hierarchy, and clicking on the * on the numeric keypad will expand that item in full. On my previous laptops there was a mechanism to convert part of the keyboard into a numeric keypad when there wasn't a separate one. With that turned on, the * would expand a selected item in a hierarchy. This mechanism doesn’t exist on my MS Surface Book. Is there any way this functionality can be restored on a PC without a numeric keypad on the keyboard?
