The following code snippet successfully finds all the skewed text in a 
document and then removes the skew:

//Clear the find/change preferences.
    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    //Set the find options.
    app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;
    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
    app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = false;
    //Search the document for all the skewed text
    app.findTextPreferences.skew = 1;
    // now remove all skews
    app.changeTextPreferences.skew = 0;

However, I want to access each fragment of skewed text rather than 
globally change them.

How do I access the collection of skewed text items as the 
findTextPreferences does not seem to possess the required properties.

TIA
