It doesn't work too well even in word, from my experience. I can get it to
search for specific words etc, but not for styles such as italic or bold and
it sometimes refuses to find differenc colored text. It would be rather
useful if it would work correctly though, for once.
Thanks, Freedom Science Fiction!

Ed and Adrian,
m pretty sure that in earlier versions of JAWS it only worked with MS-Word,
but (and I don't use it so not an expert) I think I heard that in JAWS 12 it
works in other applications.
I'll have to give it a try.
I know that the word list feature (Insert+Ctrl+W) works in many more
applications than it did in the past; perhaps this spilled over to the skim
reading tool.

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.
