The default JAWS Find command, Insert-Control-F works in all programs including Firefox, Outlook Express and Adobe. Control-F may not work in every program, although JAWS 10 has been fixed so that it works in Firefox 3. The rule of thumb: if Control-F doesn't work, try Insert-Control-F.

I have discovered a similar problem with Firefox 3.x; using JFW9.0.2169 and
WindowsXP Service Pack 3.

Subject: question about trying to do a find in adobe reader 9 with jaws
9.0.2169 on a windows vista machine

Hi, I am trying to do a find with adobe reader9 and jaws 9.0.2169 on a
windows vista machine; however, when I press control f, type in the word or 
phrase that I am trying to look for and press enter, jaws doesn't say
anything, and I am still in the find window.
I have tried pressing escape, but all it does when I do this is to make the windows vista dinging sound and I simply have to hit altf4 to close out the 
document completely. Trying the search that adobe has with control shift f
doesn't do anything either as far as finding text within a document and
escape here doesn't seem to work.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
