Don’t “eyeball” documents or webpages for words you’re looking for.  Save yourself time and do a keyword search.

Find Keywords in a Microsoft Office Document (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

1. Home Ribbon > Find & Select (right side of Home tab) > Find.  OR  CTRL + F is the keyboard way to start a Find.
2. Type the word you’re searching for.
3. Click on [Find All] for a list of each instance of the word or phrase in your list.
4. Press [Esc] or click [Close] to clear the dialog box.

Searching a document will check all pages of the document.
