Jason - When you bring up the Find dialog in Word (at least, in Word 2003, which is what I use), there's a More button that you should press. Then, navigate to a combo box labeled Search. This is defaulted to All, but you can change it to Up using the arrow keys.

However if you're a student or someone who has to search through long documents, you might identify with my question. My question is this. I often have files for uni which are thousands of words long. I sometimes want to find the last(or one of the last) occurrences of a word/name or phrase. Is it possible to go to the end of my document, and start searching for that occurrence back towards the start of the document? At the moment, I have to go all the way through to the occurrence I want. Or, I make a guess going by the number of pages in the document and then use control page down to skip through to the page I think I should start from. Sometimes, I can guess because you get to know your document fairly well. However sometimes this is not always possible. I hope I am explaining myself okay. I don't know if this search function is possible or not, but thought I would ask. I am using Jaws 7.0, windows XP and word 2003. thanks Jason Visit the JAWS Users list home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the JAWS Users List send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Yahoo!
