Instead of control-f, press insert-control-f. By "insert," I mean the JAWS key. It works--I use it all the time with Firefox 3. This is the same solution another lister recommended for an Adobe search. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene" <gwilson@xxxxxxxx>

I have discovered a similar problem with Firefox 3.x; using JFW9.0.2169 and WindowsXP Service Pack 3. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shai Wolman Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 4:42 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: question about trying to do a find in adobe reader 9 with jaws 9.0.2169 on a windows vista machine Hi, I am trying to do a find with adobe reader9 and jaws 9.0.2169 on awindows vista machine; however, when I press control f, type in the word orphrase that I am trying to look for and press enter, jaws doesn't say anything, and I am still in the find window.I have tried pressing escape, but all it does when I do this is to make the windows vista dinging sound and I simply have to hit altf4 to close out thedocument completely. Trying the search that adobe has with control shift f doesn't do anything either as far as finding text within a document and escape here doesn't seem to work. Any help with this would be appreciated. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
