Hello and welcome.

It sounds like you may have Mouse Keys enabled, which allows you keyboard to control the mouse pointer.

Check in  > System Preferences... > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad > Enable Mouse Keys. If enabled, uncheck the box.

thankyou Cory for your reply. I did try your suggestion but I'm afraid, no luck. I am using an ageing 2011 i7 and it has no mouse and trackpad button. new to apples so you'll have to excuse my speed with macs
