Why does the caps lock not work on the # like 9 = ( & 0 = )
 

I am entering a lot of data that has to have the ( sign and the ) sign, but
when I put it on CAPS LOCK it still enters the 9 or 0. Is there a way to
temporarily lock them so I don't have to keep hitting the shift key?

Because Caps Lock is just that, Capitals Lock. Is is NOT the same as the
Shift Key.

I suppose one possibility would be to use the square brackets " [ and ]
" and do a global change to " ( and ) ".

Maybe you could remap (reassign) some keys
Here is one site that tells how

Here is another

Google 'keyboard reassign' for more
