First, you need to know what color you are searching for. If you know one instance, you can press insert+5 on the numbers row for JAWS to identify the color. Often, though, JAWS does not name the color what Microsoft does, so there's a problem. So. *If you can establish what the color is for Office, jump through these hoops:
1. In Word press control+f for find. 2. Be sure there is no text in the find field. 3. Open the find split button (space bar?) and arrow to advanced find. 4. Press enter, and tab to the find and replace toolbar. 5. Pressing enter on the toolbar gives you a formatting menu. enter on font. 6. Tab to the color group, enter to open it, find your color and press enter.7. I didn't go farther than that, but I'm sure you have to get to an okay button or two and press it or them.
Good luck! Ann
Yes, I know that keystroke. I was trying to find the text in the document without having to read down every line. Steve & Shannon Cook Skype: steve.cook101103 Today I married my best friend.

How can I find different colored text in my word document? For example, someone sent me a document and some of the names on the document are in blue. How can I find the blue text using JAWS?
