Hi, after listening to the recent FSCAST regarding the JAWS 11 beta I've now just tried the skim reading tool. I must say it's great. Can't believe I've managed without it for so long, but now I've used it it's going to save me a lot of work. Anybody who hasn't tried it might like to use the CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT+ down arrow key to bring up the tool. Once you've set the criteria you can then just get it to do a search by pressing CTRL+INSERT+ down arrow. Think I might sit and read the JAWS help and make sure I'm not missing out on any other little gems. Peter
