Robert,
If you open the Find dialogue with Control + F, then press the More button
(Alt + M), some additional controls are added to the dialogue.
One of these is a Special button menu (Alt + E), which opens a list of these
kinds of characters. Press Enter on one of them and a code will be put in
the Find What area, so you can then review. They will all consist of a ^
character followed by another character, and I've found it useful to
memorise a few of them. The hard return in Word is called a paragraph mark,
and its code is ^p.
As for the Insert /Symbols dialogue, I can't think of an elegant way but
this may be enough for you. With focus on a character you know, route JAWS
to the PC cursor with Insert + NumPad Minus, then PageDown and UpArrow
twice. It will be on a line that gives a description of the character, along
with its code. Switch back to the PC cursor with NumPad Plus and move to
another character. Switch back to the JAWS cursor with NumPad Minus and
press Insert + UpArrow to read the line again, and it will have a
description of the new character. Some of the descriptions don't fit in the
space provided, and I don't know what you can do then!
Steve

Wondering how one does a search for characters such as the hardReturn in
Word 2003.
Also, how does one get jaws to recognize the characters in the list provided
under insert / symbols. It recognizes a few of them, but does not recognize
a lot of them.
Using jaws 8
