    Is There A Command
    Went searching for a certain word among a document that has a lot of text.
    I know crtl F works okay. But what about online. What command would you use then. I have windows xp.

    It depends on the browser but Ctrl-F works for both Firefox and IE too, I suspect for Chrome as well.

    Find (Ctrl + F) DOES work in Chrome, but the search box is very subtle.
    Look in the top right, rather than at the bottom like IE and FF.

    Thanks. I found window +F bring up a search box. But it does not seem
    To search the document I have online. Chrome upper right only has the tool setting

    Don't use Windows + F, use Ctrl + F while in a browser.

    All depends on what sort of document you have open in the browser, whether it is indeed searchable..

    Ctrl +F still brings up a search box, although it's within the pdf reader rather than browser..

    I have tried various formats. A news paper/ A short story/ In a page of lengthy
    Text I am looking to highlight a certain word. Ctrl+F works great off line.
    My PFD reader does no come up either
