Hello Jorge, It sounds like you have another method. However, Alt+delete key in a Word document gives you the position of the cursor in the document. It does not take you to the next occurrence of what you are finding. If I am using the Find command I find it easier to press escape and immediately read the cursor position. I can then go to the next occurrence using CTRL with page down or the previous occurrence using CTRL with page up. However, if a person would rather keep the Find page of the dialog open then using Shift with f6 brings focus to the document from the navigation pane where the cursor position can be checked, and F6 puts focus back in the Find page of the dialog on the Find Next button. Again I prefer doing a find, pressing escape and then using CTRL with page down or CTRL with page up to move to next or previous results respectively.
Cuong asked how he could use JAWS to read cursor position while in the Find and Replace dialog. I find the quickest way is to use escape key after you find an occurrence and you can immediately use Alt with delete to get the cursor position. Take care.

I was trying to follow what you were trying to explain and it seem confusing, especially the alt + delete to find the next occurrence?. After you run it once, you can go back and change the words around to find & replace again. Press escape anytime, you should return back to the doc, Alt + tab and you can return back to the find & replace, until you close it. You have to pay attension to the options as you tab.

Press spacebar on the Find Next button, use shift key with F6 and read the position with Alt and delete. You don't have to keep jumping between the panes using shift with F6 to move to the document and F6 to move back to the navigation pane. Once you find an occurrence of what you are finding and move to the document pane you can just use CTRL with page down to find the next occurrence or CTRL with page up to find a previous occurrence and check position with the Alt and delete key. If you are wanting to use "replace" option but not the "replace all" choice then you first use CTRL with H to move to the page of the dialog where you can do replacements. It is a good idea to start at the top of the document first. After typing in what you want to find and what you want it replaced with you can use Alt with F to activate the Find Next button. Press escape, use Alt+Delete to get position, and then use CTRL with H again and use the Alt+R to do the replacing. You can then use escape key, find position Alt+using alt with delete, use CTRL with H followed by Alt with R to replace it or alt with F to find the next occurrence. In Word 2013 there doesn't seem to be a way to switch between the navigation pane and the document pane the say you can if just finding something. Also, in the dialog box the Alt+delete only gives pixel position for the control in focus so you have to be in the navigation pane to get the position of something using Alt key with delete key. Take care.
