Is there a way to find the next instance of text with a bold font using JAWS?
Although the JAWS Text Analyzer is very useful, It shows each inconsistency along the file as it appears. Is there a way to set some type of filter to indicate what is it what we are trying to find?
Thanks very much in advance.

Re: Finding bold text with JAWS
Hi Daniella,
The Skim Reading tool will allow you to filter certain characteristics and show you every instance it finds in a list. It will work anywhere there's text.
so to find all bold text:
1. Press Jaws-shift-control down arrow to open the tool.
2. choose color/attribute rule.
3. Tab over to bold and check that box.
4. Click the summary button and in a separate window, everything that is bold will be in a list that you can navigate with standard text reading commands.
5. If you want to jump to any specific piece of text, just navigate to it and press enter.
It's a very powerful tool that also works with text. You could also filter by colour as well or you can have the tool only look for bold with a specific colour. Here's more information.

Hope this helps.
