You got what you'd expect to hear from JAWS key+f, which is font and point size. You can confirm by pressing JAWS key+1 (on the number row above the letters), which tells you what each keystroke does when JAWS is in a specific application. Adding control to this combination while you're inside an email message should enable you to perform a search of that message's content.

So, it did not work for me either and I would be interested for any suggestions.

Welcome to JAWS! To search within an open message, add the JAWS key to control-f. this three-key combination comes in useful in many common applications even when control-f also works. To search through the messages in a folder, place focus at one of the folder's messages and press shift-control-f. this is a Microsoft command. An alternative is to press control-e, another MS command. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Ted Larson Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2017 3:18 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] how do you find specific textin outlook Dear List: I just migrated from window-eyes to jaws. I know that the jaws Find command is control-F. However, in outlook, the control-F is the Forward command. What procedure do I use to find text in Outlook? Do I use some sort of bypass or override hot key? Thanks.
