In Jaws, adding the Jaws key adds another parameter to the keystroke. Hence, CONTROL+F is enhanced when adding the jaws key and showing INSERT+CONTROL+F. This works on both laptop and desktop keyboards. JOHN AND LINDA JUSTICE WITH GUIDE DOGS EDWIN AND CALYPSOE PERSONAL E-MAIL:

Also make sure if you want to use the JAWS find command properly you have the entire document loaded. Yes, ctrl-f is Adobe's find command. It has some accessibility issue that admittedly I don't quite understand. As mentiond above, you can use the JAWS find command instead. -Original

Me, too. But the control-f Microsoft command in Word can be useful. For example, it will find strings of characters, while the JAWS search finds only whole words. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Cristóbal Sent:

I've generally used the insert+control+f command across all programs as it seems to be nearly universal for Jaws as opposed to keeping track on which applications may and may not allow the control+f command to find something. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List

Mary, I find that three-key combo works in a number of places. For example, it functions differently enough in MS Word to make it sometimes a useful alternative to MS's control-f find command. With PDF files, it's the only find command that works while using JAWS. -Original Message-

Mary, in addition to the accessibility area you find when you press control-k for preferences, try pressing alt-e for edit, then arrowing up to accessibility and going through the multi-page dialog there. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List

I couldn’t find that setting either to double check it. When you first start Adobe acrobat reader, you do get that Accessibility wizard. I was a little bit confused with that, but I did tell it to read all pages. But then there was something about should I display continuously or as a single

i don't know where the setting is. but you have to set adobe to load the entire document into memory. the default is to load one page at a time. if it is set this way jaws will only find text that is showing on the screen.; -Original Message- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Thursday,
