What I was trying to ask last week was, if you could use FindGraphic or
FindString just to search with in one line instead of the whole app or
window. For example, I would move the jaws cursor to the beginning of a
particular line, and then I would want to search for a graphic only on that
line. Is this possible? Thanks!
