Search function for single email in Entourage

[FormerlyPCMaggie]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Email Client: pop

Is there a function in Entourage which allows you to search inside a single email? In Outlook on a PC it was the F4 key. You opened the email, hit F4, and could then type in the word or words you wanted to search for in only that email. How can I do this in Entourage for Mac?

Sincere thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

In Entourage, you can open a message and then hit Cmd+F. This shortcut is a
standard shortcut in most Mac applications. Cmd+G will subsequently
highlight the next occurrence of the term.

In Entourage 2008, when you have an email open & hit CMD+F, nothing happens - I see the same behavior on my MacBook and my wife's MacBook Pro

If you select under Edit --> Find, does it work?

It works for me. Two possibilities to check:

1) window hidden or off screen
2) database corruption (test in a new Identity) Drag a message to the
desktop for testing in the new Identity.
