Jason, After doing control F to open the find dialog box, and typing in the desired word you are looking for, tab once to the more button and tap enter. Now tab to the search combo box and up arrow to up.

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 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] 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!
