Using Ctrl + F

(or Command + F for Mac users).

Many years of daily computer use often makes one forget that other’s don’t necessarily make the most of the electronic paradigm. Recently I’ve sat looking over the shoulders of friends and family as they slowly scroll through a long Word document or web page trying to find the bit of text they want to show me or edit. This makes sense in a paper world - you scan through the pages, hoping your eye lands on the words you’re after. It seems it’s a well ingrained habit!

If you’re looking for a word of phrase on your computer **you don’t need to do this!**. Get into the habit of holding down Ctrl and pressing F (for ‘Find’). This works in most programs.

Go on - make a new habit before New Year.
