In the past I’ve done several posts here on various keyboard shortcuts. You can find them by doing a search or click on SHORTCUTS here to get a page with links to posts on this blog.
Split Screen with Word and Chrome Ok, I know that there is probably an easy solution for this but damned if I can figure it out. What I want to do is to watch a netflix show in one part of my screen (maybe just like the 20 part of an 80/20 split) while working on a word document in the main part of my screen. To find a word on a webpage using Google Chrome, type the shortcut CTRL + F or ⌘ + F on Mac. This will bring up a small search bar at the top-right side of your browser's window: This will bring up a small search bar at the top-right side of your browser's window.
One of the most useful shortcuts is one I rarely remembered until recently. That is “Find” – Control>f (on Windows); Command>f on the Mac the easy way to search for a word or phrase on a web page, in a Word document and/or even in an email post.
Since so many people are using iPads, I went on a search to see if individual web pages could also be searched for specific words or phrases when using the iPad. I was excited to learn that, in fact, Safari web pages do have a search function within them.
Following is what I discovered (from the Tutorial that I plan to include in my upcoming book with Interviews with Seniors Using iPads):
How to Search a Web Page on the iPad –
Open the web page on which you want to do a search for a word or phrase. In the example below I had TechnologyforSeniorsMadeEasy.com/communicating-for-seniors/how-to-easily-save-voice-recordings-and-photos-using-evernote/
STEPS:
1 – Tap the URL to highlight it. You may need to do a “select all” and “cut.”
2 – Then type your search word or phrase in that space. For this example I typed “recording.”
3 – The search gives options to go to various web pages AND as you go down the page you’ll see an “On This Page” option, with “Find “[your search word or phrase]”. To the right you will see either “no matches” or the number of matches.
4 – Simply tap on “Find….” and you will be back on the page with all of the words or phrases for which you searched highlighted.
5 – Note: At the bottom of the page, on the left, there are brackets, < >, and a notation on the number of matches found. You can either scroll down the page to look for other highlight OR tap a “move right” or “move left” symbol to be take to the next or previous word or phrase.

6 – Note also: In the box on the right the word or phrase for which you searched is in a search box. You can “x” out the work for which you searched and add a new one to continue your search on the page.
Continuing from here, I then checked my iPhone to see if, and how, we can do a search on individual web pages on the iPhone. What I found, follows:

Instructions are very similar to those for the iPad. The main difference is that there is not the added search option once you are back on the page. ![]()
1 – Go to the web page. For this example I am on a page on PhotographyandTransformation.com, another of my websites.
2 – Highlight the URL at the top of the page and “cut” it.

4 – The first results you will see are for web pages with that term or phrase. Do NOT tap “Return”. It will take you to the search for various sites.
5 – Move down to the “On This Page”. Tap on that which brings you back to the original page from which you started.
6 – Again, your searched for word or term is highlighted. Use the “move” symbols at the left on the bottom of the page to navigate through.
7 – Tapping on “Done” will remove all of the highlights.
