ActiveRainers - Meet F3 - You'll love him - he's here to make life easier! I wanted to share this with my tech-savvy computer geeks here on ActiveRain. Have you ever googled something - only to click on a page which has TONS of text - you have to start at the top and slowly can allllll the way down till you find what you're looking for? Well - I know I have. That's why I'd like to introduce you to the F3 Key. It's located at the very top of your keyboard (you guessed it - right between F2 and F4.) Press it right now and you'll see what happens.

Pretty cool huh? Just a little tip to make your life a little easier! Hope you found it helpful!

Dear Emily -

Your color co-ordination is so lovely! Buttons and badges - all match!

I thought Vancouver was one of the most beautiful places I ever visited. Seeing you post reminded all those images to revisit my mind!

Have a happy day -
Lynn

Ha ha! I kept pressing it thinking the page was going to change to a larger font and I wasn't going to need glasses to read it. Wishful thinking. Glad you added the screen shot. Happy to have a find on the page. Thank you for the tip!

Emily,

For some reason this "field" is not showing up when I press "F3". Either I am doing something wrong, or ... don't know what

Emily, Thanks for the tip!  That's one of those little things we should all know, but probably very few of us do -- I had never heard of it.  Thanks again.  I think it will come in quite handy.
