Get an “F”

FIf you lost something on your computer don’t panic; “F” = find.  It’s incredibly handy once you get comfortable using it.  Whether you’re looking for a word on a web page or a file in a folder. It’s simple to use…

Help-PC Hit Ctrl+F.  You should see a window open with a space to start searching.  In some programs like Firefox the window opens on the bottom of the screen; other programs give you a pop up window.

Help-MacThe behavior is exactly the same on the mac except you hit +F (command+F).  On both Mac and PC this works on most programs.

The F key is the Fastest way to Find what you’re looking for; Give it a try!
