It works in WordPerfect. Here's a passage I copied some time ago from an FS
document, but I couldn't tell you where it is located:
Skim reading will work in any word processor. It will even work in Note Pad
or on a web page.

Subject: Skim Reading
I've never used this tool before. Actually, I was scanning through the FS
training materials and found the tutorial on the skim reading tool. Looks
like it has been around since JAWS 6.
Anyway, does it only work in Word?
I tried it, in all places, in HJ Pad. I belong to an iPhone users group and
have the email messages consolidated in "digest" mode.
Each new topic begins with the word "Topic:"
Typically, I paste the text of the digested messages into HJ Pad and search
for that word (plus the colon) and then repeatedly tap the F-3 key to review
the topics. Typically, there are only a couple that interest me.
I could swear I did everything just like explained in the tutorial, but NO
JOY! JAWS didn't even make the clicking sound it is supposed to make
while it is searching.
By the way, if this tool really works, it could be quite useful. It is
tragic I never tried it before. Of course, it has to work to be useful.
