I've used word for years, although I used Word 2003 only briefly before
returning to Word 2000 because I preferred its simple, navigable Thesaurus
function to the profuse, awkward one in Word 2003.
That said, I think you have the same Search (Find) function as usual in
Word: Do search for the first instance of a word or phrase, and then to
look for more instances of the same string you press Control F again, and
this time tab to the control Find Next, press enter, and so forth. That's
the way it's always worked, so far as I know. I never thought of it in
terms of comparison to IE, but as its own thing. It's a Word function, not
a Jaws one as in the browser. If there nonetheless happens to be a single
keystroke for repeating the search, I never thought about it or heard about
it.
Hope that helps for starters, at least.

Subject: the "Find" function in MS Word
Can someone explain to me how Jaws works with the Edit/Find... find
text dialogue box in MS Word 2003? How do you navigate to the various
results scattered all through out the body of the text. In IE you can press
F3 once you've done a find word command and the cursor jumps to every
consecutive appearance of that word. Is there a way to do this in MS Word?
It doesn't appear entirely obvious to me.
Thanks for your help,
Tim Elder
