[JAWS-Users] Help with 'find' feature in a MS Word document
Hi Listers and happy new year. In an open word doc hitting ctrl f, then entering the search text and then hitting alt f takes me straight to that location in the word document where the text is. However once I do the above each time I hit pg down or up or ctrl pg down or up it just doesn't move the document on the screen up or down as usual and instead keeps on jumping each time to the next location of that text in the doc. I don't want this. Once I have found the location I desire I want the ctrl pg up and down to act as usual. Is there a key stroke to snap the document out of this find mode?

Thanks. This ctrl G is not a solution to my problem. I mostly do not jump to specific pages instead use ctrl pg up.down and the like to navigate and read documents.

One way is to go to the find dialog and clear out the text. Then pageup and pagedown wil just page up and page down. At 05:36 PM 1/2/2012, you wrote: Hi Listers and happy new year.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Help with 'find' feature in a MS Word document
There isn't really a solution other than that, since in Microsoft Word the find dialogue and the page control are (and have been for ages) two parts of the same dialogue. Control G, and enter, or escape. that will release the page-up/page-down functionality from the find & Replace. Now just seen Ann's clear the find field solution, and that makes sense. - Original Message - From: "Dujari, Prateek" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 12:19 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Help with 'find' feature in a MS Word document Thanks.
