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.
