Hello, very useful information again. But please tell me, how to use the
find command in a message received through e-mail? Because; in a message if
we use the key stroke control+f, it amounts to forwarding the mail. Then how
to find out a particular word or fraise from a mail? I hope I have made my
query clear enough.

Subject: [AI] JAWS find command
Dear List Members,
This is just FYI.
Using the JAWS Find Command
You can use the JAWS Find command to find specific words or phrases on a Web
page. This works on long Web pages even if that information is not currently
in view on the screen. The Find command searches from the location of the
cursor to the bottom of the document by default, so it is best to start at
the
top of the page by pressing CTRL+HOME.
1. Open the sample page (attached with this mail) and press CTRL+HOME to go
to the top of the page.
2. Press CTRL+F to open the JAWS Find dialog box. You are in an edit box
where you can type your search keyword or phrase. You can press the TAB key
to
move from one control to another within the dialog box. The different
controls include:
list of 5 items nesting level 1
. Find what edit box. Press the arrow keys DOWN or UP to move to previously
searched for items. You can also open a list of the items in the combo box
by
pressing ALT+DOWN ARROW and then use first letter navigation to move to an
item more quickly.
. Maintain history of recent finds. This check box contains a history of the
last 20 entries you searched forin the find what edit combo box. The default
is checked.
. Direction radio buttons, the default is to search forward
. Ignore case checkbox, the default is checked, and
. Find, Delete, Clear Find History, and Cancel buttons. The default is the
Find button.
Note: the JAWS find is the default find in applications where the virtual
cursor is supported. If you want to use the application's native find dialog
box,
first press INSERT+3 on the numbers row (JAWS pass through keystroke),
followed by the keystroke CTRL+F.
3. Let's say you heard that Jim's Cafe offers a really great club sandwich.
Do the following to search to see if that is listed on this page. Type the
words
"club sandwich" and press ENTER. If you started at the top of the page, the
words "club sandwich" are not visible on the screen. They are further down
on the page. JAWS moves to the phrase and reads the line where the search
phrase is found.
4. Use the JAWS Say Word command (INSERT+NUMPAD 5). You should hear the word
"club" spoken.
5. Use the JAWS Next Word command (INSERT+RIGHT ARROW). You should hear JAWS
say, "sandwich." JAWS moved you to the phrase right at the beginning of the
word "club."
6. Press CTRL+HOME to move back to the top of the page.
7. Open the JAWS Find dialog box again by pressing CTRL+F and search for the
word "town." You hear that the words around the word you searched for are
"sleepy
town of Innisport."
8. Press the keystroke to repeat the Find command (F3). You hear that the
words around your search word now are "in downtown Innisport." Notice that
your
search word is actually part of a larger word in this instance.
9. Press F3 again and listen to the text you find.
10. Continue pressing F3 until you get a message that says "wrapping to top"
which indicates JAWS reached the last instance of the word "town" on this
particular
Web page and continued the search back at the top of the page again. JAWS
also wraps when searching backward from the top of the page using SHIFT+F3.
When searching for words or phrases with JAWS, the important keystrokes to
remember are:
. CTRL+F to open the JAWS Find dialog box.
. F3 to repeat the search in the forward direction.
. SHIFT+F3 to repeat the search in the backward direction.
Note: The JAWS find dialog box is different from the regular find dialog box
in other programs. When you are in programs that have their own find dialog
box you can still choose the JAWS find command as an alternative if you wish
to. In those instances, use the JAWS keystroke INSERT+CTRL+F.
Continue to experiment with this handy feature of JAWS. You will find this a
very useful way of searching Web pages for specific information.
