Try the JAWS find command, insert-control-f, insert being the JAWS key. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat Pound To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 28, 2009 8:48 PM Subject: Searching within pdf files Hello All, I am having trouble searching for words within pdf files. I tried control-f and choosing find from the edit menu. I can write my word to find but then have trouble --I can read the document again if I hit F6. Any advice--using Jaws 10. Pat
