Try going without the plus sign. Maybe put Q or Q. Each document will
be different, so we don't know without seeing your document what's going
wrong. I don't think, as of now, that this skim reading dialogue is all
it may be cracked up to be. It's useful, up to a point. But when you
start putting too many entries into the text field (the limit, I don't
know, until further experimentation), ), it doesn't process them
properly. Maybe don't bother with the text rules, but let it skim read
the first sentence of each paragraph. Other list members are, of
course, and have always been, at liberty to offer their suggestions as
well.

Dear Flor,
Many thanks for your reply.
I'm afraid I found your reply rather less than helpful.
I asked for simple steps, which I would have thought, included what to
put
in the dialog box.
It is, in fact, in trying to fill out the dialog box that I am
experiencing
problems.
Is it possible, please, using the example given in my earlier message,
to
take me through the steps, including what I fill in, in the dialog box.
I tried, in fact, to put a plus sign followed by a letter Q in the first
box, but this seemed to get me nowhere.
Please forgive me if I am sounding particularly stupid on this matter.
If you feel you would prefer to give me some further help off list, that
is
fine with me.
With many thanks.
Best wishes,
Keith

The summary is automatically 'created', so you don't attempt to do that.
Once you've input your criteria, exit the dialog and press
ctrl-insert-down-arrow.

Dear All,
XP Home, Jaws 610.
I'd welcome some help please with Skim reading, and creating a summary.
I have a document in Notepad containing the following:
Questions and answers.
Each question line starts with a plus sign, followed immediately by a
letter
Q, then a space, which is then followed by a number, and then a
question.
I wish to skim read so that Jaws reads out each line which contains the
plus
sign and the letter Q,
and I wish to then create a summary which also contains these elements.
I've tried this for myself, but haven't managed to achieve my aims.
Any simple steps to help me would be very much appreciated.
With many thanks.
Best wishes,
Keith
