I am wondering if it is possible with #NVDA to search for text in specific colours.

Let's say a co-worker sends you a document and tells you that they have formated some sentences in red and others marked with a yellow background.

How would I quickly find such sentences?

With #JAWS the skim reading feature comes to mind. But I don't know if there is a way to do the same thing with #NVDA.

@WestphalDenn If the document is in Word, you can use Word's own find feature to search for text of particularly colours (press control+h for find / replace, then alt+m for more, then alt+o for formatting, select font or paragraph etc and choose the formatting to search for. Press control+page down or control+page up to find the next or previous occurance of text with that formatting.
