It is unnecessary to press the enter key when you type in the text you wish to find using alt+e,f type in text sought, then tab to find next and then press enter. Then when the text is found, exit the find program by pressing the Escape key and reading on the line with your PC or jaws cursor the text in the context you wish. If it is not, repeat the process. alt+e,f type in sought text tab to find next press enter press escape key read line repeat if necessary Hope this clarifies things.
