Ari, it's not a hotkey. It's a Find command, but instead of using control F, which as you notice is just the OE command for forwarding, use Control Shift F instead. You'll stay within the open message, as you wish to. Now type what you're looking for and hit Enter. Just remember not to press Escape at this point in case that's something you have to do in another program in order to get ride of the Find dialogue and be at what you've found. the Find dialogue will disappear all by itself. And if you press Escape, you'll just close the message. So just Control Shift F, type your search string, press Enter. Hope that works for you. It ought to. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ari" <aridamoulakis@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 11:51 PM Subject: Outlook Express hotkey question Hi guys, Is there a hotkey for finding text in an OE message? CTRL+F just forwards the message, and if I want to find text, I have to go through the menues to where it says find text in this message, is there a quicker way?
