Thanks, Randy. Do you mean find instead of search?

Hello Rahul - Two separate thoughts.

1.      On your scheme, do not set a background color.
2.      I do the same thing, but I accomplish it through searching in Word.
        a.      I have actually created a macro to search for the color blue.  Of note, I also have a macro that searches for the color red.
        b.      You can also, do it without a macro by
                i.      open the search
                ii.     go to the font options and change the color of your font to blue
                iii.    you do not need to search for any text, so I leave the search field blank.

Regards,
Randy

**RECEIVED FROM EXTERNAL SENDER - USE CAUTION**

Hi,

I use Word 16, JAWS 2021, Win 10.

I would like to be able to isolate, in a word document, all the text that
is in blue. That is the text that I need to study. I am not able to do this.

I have created a skim reading rule with blue is the text colour and white
as the background colour. JAWS keeps ticking on pressing control+caps+down
arrow after creating the rule. But does not read out any text. It finally
says 'no matches found'. I know for a fact that there is some blue text in
the document. Can someone help, please?

Rahul
