AND PHRASES IN THE WCCC MANUAL

pages listed above:
- Click on "Edit" in the tool bar
- Click on "Find on this page".
- A dialog box will appear. Type in the word or
phrase you a looking for. (Note: This function works best if
you are not too specific - use a keyword instead of a whole
phrase.) The program will search through the web page you are
looking at for the word or phrase you've typed in. (A web page can
be several paper pages long.)
- If the word or phrase is in the web page, it will
appear as a highlighted word on the screen.
- If the instance of the word isn't what you're
looking for, click on "Find next" in the dialog box.
| Note: |
Sometimes
the highlighted word may be hidden under the dialog box. If that
happens, just click on the top bar of the box, and holding down the
mouse button, drag the dialog box to another place on the
screen. Release the mouse button and you can continue with your
search. |
Once you have found the word or phrase in the context
of your search, click on the hyperlink and you will go directly to the WCCC Manual web page where the word or phrase is used.
