      July 2007 Tips & Tricks


What a beautiful summer we’re having this year – without the scorching hot spell we had last July (so far anyway, knock on wood!). This year our garden is producing Early Girl, San Marzano and Rutgers tomatoes, along with onions, eggplants, chili peppers, cucumbers, basil, cilantro, and more. Our staff and students are sure enjoying our delicious home-grown tomatoes! As you enjoy the great weather, remember also to cultivate your computer skills, for the productivity that will give you the time to get outside this summer!

Tips & Tricks
How can you save a lot of time scrolling if you’re on a long Internet page with a lot of information … and you want to find a specific word or words on that page? CTRL-F is your answer! CTRL-F opens up the Find dialog box. First, enter WHAT you want to find … the word(s) you’re looking for. You can also enter additional options –

  • You can change Direction to search UP or DOWN the document, depending on your current location on the page.
  • You can match the WHOLE WORD, for example, you only want ‘microsoft excel’ instead of ‘excel’, or ‘windows’ instead of ‘window’.
  • You can match the CASE, for example, you only want ‘Excel’ not ‘excel’ .
Once you’ve defined your search, press the FIND NEXT button. This will bring you to the first instance of your search term. Then, when you press FIND NEXT button again, this will bring you to the second instance of your search term … and so on. This is a great tool to use on Computer Magic Training’s Class Schedule page, which is VERY long … try practicing this on www.ComputerMagicTraining.com/courses.php
