Weekly Tech tip #7 - searching when there is no search bar


Quite often I find that I need to search a document or page for something and there is no search bar visible. Whether there is a search bar or not, you can always use CTRL-F (control-find). This is particularly useful if you want to search a web page for a word that you think is somewhere on the page.

There are many other CTRL key commands that can be handy such as CTRL-P for print, CTRL-S for save etc. You can find a list from Microsoft here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/126449 and an even more complete list of keyboard shortcuts on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts

By the way, these tips are now being archived at the following location in a blog format: http://smustechtips.blogspot.ca
Also, please let me know if you have any tips you would like to share!
