Hi Jamie,
Thank you very much for your advice. I have tried it and it works; I escape
after I have finished with the find function and then use the go to function.
Then I am able to use the page up and down again. Phew.
Best wishes,
Justine.

Justine,
This is normal behaviour for Word. What you've got to realise though before
it makes sense, is that the Control+Page Up or Page Down is defaulted to search
for the next or previous page. When you do a search this then defaults to
whatever your last search was, just as when you go back into the normal find
box, the previous search in the current session will appear automatically.
The way to get round this is to use the GoTo function (Control+G rather than
Control+F. By then selecting the "Page" option and a valid page number, it
should then revert back to searching for next and previous page when you use
the Control+Page Up and Page Down commands.
I hope this makes sense - it should sort your problem.
Regards,
Jamie

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your advice. I tried it and pressed escape but when I tried to
move up or down a page with control and page up/down key, Jaws says either
previous occurrence or next occurrence. This is really frustrating when I am in
a 40 paged document because it stops me from moving quickly through the pages.
Have you got any more suggestions please.

control and F, type in your search criteria, tab to "find next", press
enter then press escape. The last command is the only one you didn't try. good
luck, Jim.

Hi All,
Please can you tell me how to get out of the find function when in
Microsoft Word 2003 using Jaws 9. I use control and f, then tab round and add
the word I want to find and then tab to find next and enter. Once I am where I
want to be in the document I cannot get out of this function. I enter on cancel
and even close if the option comes up. To a sighted person it has shut down and
I can read the document. If I want to scan through the document by using
control and page up or page down, Jaws asks if I want to carry on searching,
yes or no. Pressing no or even ok if this is brought up, makes no difference.
The only way for it to clear is to press alt and f4 and then reopen the
document, which defeats the purpose of using the find function.
I would be grateful if anybody can assist me.
Thank you very much.
