Natalie,
Have you selected "laptop layout" in the Jaws Basics submenu? Arrow down to
laptop keyboard layout, tab to ok and press enter. The default is desktop
layout.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: A JAWS laptop question
Hello all,
I have a question for you all out there about Jaws on a laptop. Recently I
bought a laptop and have been slowly adjusting to Jaws commands for it.
However, I keep encountering a problem that baffles me and I'm hoping someone
out there who uses Jaws on a laptop can assist me.
As many might know, when on a website, control F will pop up the Jaws Find
box. A lot of times I use this on websites that I go to a lot so I don't have
to keep hitting page down a bazillion times. Anyway, while on my laptop the
other week, I tried to use the Jaws Find and typed in a particular search
string I knew I would find on the site. But all I got was that little ding and
a message saying not found. But when searching the page manually, I found what
I was looking for. Then, a few days later, I was doing it again, using the Jaws
Find and it was working! Everything I search for came up, no littl dings with a
not found message.
However, this seems to alternate. Sometimes when I search, I find what I'm
looking for, other times, nothing. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any type
of setting I need to adjust? Because this is driving me crazy.
Well, if anyone has encountered this problem and knows what I'm talking
about, please hit me back. If not, oh well. Guess I'll just muddle it through
myself. Lol
