There's a really good Daisy book on this feature on the FS web site, or even 
already on your PC if you've downloaded it with JAWS training materials.

That's where I learned how to use it.

Hi,
    If you go into that skim reading dialog box and hit "begin skim reading"
or whatever that button says, will the skim reading happen only in that
document or e-mail, then revert to normal reading?
I've never used this feature before.
Thanks.
