thanks Amro, it was buried a little deeper than I'd expected.
A very useful function for people who write long strategy documents or
students, I'd suggest.
For those of you who don't have JAWS 11, here's that snippet from the
help file to explain the Word Index functions that are available in the
latest version of the screenreader:
Word Index - jaws 11 help:
Word Index (INSERT+CTRL+W) is the ideal tool for those who do a lot of
reading for study and research purposes. Word Index generates a list of
words that appear in a document or on a Web page. The words are sorted
so that the highest occurrence appears first, followed by an
alphabetized list of words that only appear once. You can scan the list
for a specific word or concept, and then jump to that occurrence of the
word. If the word appears multiple times, use the Navigational Quick Key
W or the Word Index Summary button to select and skip to the next
occurrence of the word. The Summary button opens the virtual viewer with
a list of links. Each link is a sentence that contains the selected
word. Press ENTER to activate the link. This is a useful timesaver since
you can get a feel for the context of the word, and then move to the
appropriate section of the document and continue reading.
Use Word Index when reading Web pages or Microsoft Word, Outlook,
Outlook Express, Notepad, WordPad, or Adobe Acrobat files.

Damon, go to Jaws help>What's new in Jaws11 and jump to the heading
(Word Index). While you on that page of the help files you might like to
check too the heading (Show Word Comments, Footnotes, Endnotes, or
Revisions in Virtual Viewer). You might find this feature of some help
too when editing a document.
HTH,
Amro

Hi there.
I understand that in JAWS 11 there is a function which counts
the number of words on a page.
It will tell you, for instance, how many uses of the word
'project' or 'blind' or 'banana' you've used in your writing ... helpful
if you can't see a page all at once like sighties.
Can someone tell me the keystroke and how it works, please? I
don't even know what it's called so can't google or RTFM it.
Thanks!
