Actually, JAWS find (JAWS key+f-no need to add control) does work in Word. However, it can't search for partial words. It finds only complete words, for example text bounded by spaces and/or punctuation. Word's control-f search can find search strings whether or not they are complete words. You can also search for much more than letters with the word search function, such as paragraph brakes, tabs, etc.
To answer Kimsan's question, I know of no JAWS equivalent in Word to the F3 "find again" command available on the Internet. However, there are various ways of repeating an MS Word search.

In word the jaws find doesn't work so I only use control f. From: Kimsan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 01, 2016 2:10 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: find next 2013 On the internet, when searching for a word, you can press function key 3 and it will locate the next occurrence of the searched text. How can I do this in word 2013? Also, did anyone notice a difference in using CTRL jaws key f vs CTRL f? I find that CTRL insert f is much easier to use for some reason lol. Man, this is embarroussing as I should know this stuff, as I used to be a trainer hahaha.
