To be honest, this problem seem to be related in jaws and office itself.
How should I put it.... Hmmmm
It's a little dialogg box which pop ups and you can type in your search
which take away the ability of focusing on the word edit area. Its like
MS has to put a special mode when screen reader is turn on or a addon
which will pop up a box like spell check where the editing ability is
there too.
I am sure with some scripts writing with jaws, you are able to read the
selected text after you found them but editing ability will be not on
the screen reader but on the actual application. There's a way to work
around it like intercept the information before the text is selected but
of course, the word or any office application will not be happy if they
are told what to do beforehand and it might cause  crashes and so on.

Subject: [mso] question about find and replace


I am using windows XP with Office XP and I also use Jaws 4.05.
I am wondering if there is any way to have Jaws speak the current line
on which an entry in the find box is focused?
In other words, there are times when I need to remove paragraph tags,
some of the tags are legitimate, and some are not. I would like to be
able to read the line where the paragraph mark is being shown so that I
can quickly determine whether or not it is a necessary mark or one in
error.
Is there anyway that this can be done with Jaws?

Thanks in advance for any help.
