Hi, The find dialog in IE 7 doesn't work that well. Instead of using that, what I do when I want to find something on a web page is use the JAWS find (ctrl insert F) to find what I'm looking for. This can be used anywhere in any application. It gives you options for matching if something is upper case or not. However, to find the next occurrence of something, all you have to do is press that keystroke again, and when the JAWS find dialog comes up, just press enter. I hope this helps, Jeffrey

I'm hoping someone can recognize it so I won't accidentally do it again since I had a devil of a time getting out of it. When I got the computer back, I thought I did a Control-F for Find and was given a chance to choose part of the text or complete text; match text or not to match it; next occurrence or previous one etc. I assumed that it was an incompatibility with JAWS 7.0 and IE 7 especially since some people here said it was a bad combination. I bit the bullet and started using JFW 7.1 and the old Control-F worked fine until Monday when I went grocery shopping at www.peapod.com which I've used for more than 2 years. The site was much slower than usual, but I needed groceries and persevered. I'd been doing Control-F and F-3 and getting my shopping done until I encountered the same choices I did when I first got the machine back. I'm still not used to this new keyboard and may have accidentally hit some other keystroke or been impatient and continued before Peapod had finished the action. I've been trying to read about IE 7 since I had IE 6 before my 'puter problems and have been trying to learn about the new features. I thought maybe I'd hit Control-E by mistake and worked with that a bit, but didn't get the thing to choose part of the text or complete text; match text or not to match it; next occurrence or previous one etc. I'm reasonably sure it will be hard to tell me what I encountered without knowing what keys I pressed and I don't know. Does the description sound familiar to anyone?
