tech tip: the "find" function

The "Find" Function: Behold the power of Ctrl + F


Did you know that holding down the Control (Ctrl) and F keys at the same time will bring up a box where you can search a page or document?  Let's say you're searching for the answer to the question of whether or not beans are known to provide a good source of protein in your diet in the Spark 16 newsletter.  You could (and at some point should) read the newsletter cover to cover, or you could hit Ctrl + F and search for the word "beans" or "protein" to go straight to the answer. 


Try it the next time you're looking for a specific topic in a 300 page PDF user manual, or needing to find and replace a misspelled word in a document.  It'll save you so much time you'll wonder where Ctrl + F has been all of your life!
