Business Computing Tips

By K&K Fainges kfainges@...

Any document over a page can make things hard to find. So how do you
know if a document or web page has the information you are looking
for?

The key is the command Find, usually found under either Search, or
more often Edit on the menu bar (The words across the top of the
screen).

Click on EDIT, then on Find. Type the word or words that you are
trying to find and hit Find Next. That will let you rapidly scan
through a document to find the information you want. Keep hitting
Find next to find the next place that thing is mentioned. Leave off
capitals and plurals as the search will find things easier without
them.

You must be careful of your spelling, and be sure to be at the top of
the page when you start looking or you may miss things. The other
thing to watch is for alternative spellings. For example, colour and
colour or World War Two or WW11 or WW2. Give it a try, you might just
save a lot of time.
