Hi Donna, try using vo f to search for the text you want, though since
there is no virtual cursor, except for the voice over cursor, the
command may not always work, and if it doesn't, you'll just hear a
bleep sound, but just type your text in the edit box, and press enter,
and it should give you the first instance of that text, and this has
nothing what so ever to do with the other operating system, for the
other irritated poster, we all in a sense, had to start over with the
mac, and we wouldn't have wanted people getting irritated with us, if
we asked questions the way Donna is asking them.

        donna I'm sorry but i am getting real tired of your pointless  
questions on this list.
you are coming to the point where i don't want to be here anymore and  
i am on the virg of unsubscribing period.
Please stop asking questions that relate to windows on the mac.
thanks.
