Business Computing Tips
By K&K Fainges kfainges@bigpond.net.au
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.
