Oh! I thought Peter meant that he performed this replace operation, then exited the operation and went to an incidence of the word whose attributes he wanted to change, checked to see if it was bolded, and discovered that it wasn't, and that was the problem. I'm just working on my second mug of coffee, here. Sorry to have butted in. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francis Daniels" <fdaniels@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 8:38 AM Subject: Re: Find nd Replace The find and Replace function in Word 2002 and 2003 does not bold the word in the edit box. It will bold the word after you perform the replace function. That is why JAWS won't announce the attribute format as bold when in the replace edit box. I hope that just made sense. I am starting my coffee infusion and need to be functional pretty soon.

For example, I would type the word Red in the "Find What" field and I would turn on the bold and type "Black" in the "Replace With" field, but JAWS would say bold off no matter how many times I press the keystroke. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, is there a fix? Thank you in advance. Peter M.
