Keywords in a plethora of text


How often does this happen? There was a really relevant point in a body of text you read a few days earlier and after finally tracking down that webpage in Google, or finding that ebook on your PC, its time to start breezing through 500 odd pages of text to find that elusive statement.
.
To save some time simply Hit CTRL & F, & an impresive "Find" Utility should appear which allows you to enter a specific keyword. After you have entered a somewhat unique word or phrase associated with your search, click "Find" and with some luck you should be teleported to the hidden line in no time.
.
Im surprised how often this can be overlooked, people use find / search functions all the time to locate where they have saved files on there hardrive, but never think to use it as an indexing tool throughout large documents.

This could be handy, especially if your house bills, invoice or packing lists have been created in Excel or Word, and you need to find a certain field repeatingly, yet now efficiently. StumbleUpon
