This site contains many documents of interest to Bar members and to the public.  The documents are presented in a variety of formats.  Users may be searching this site for one small detail from among many documents or one long document.   These instructions aid users in employing the most common forms of electronic searching among the most common formats in which these documents are presented.  We hope that users will save significant time in their searches by following these instructions. 
First, think of key words that relate to what you’re looking for.  Then do one of these three things: 

1 - Highlight, copy and paste this entire document into a Word document.  There, click in the toolbar at the top, “Edit”, “Find”, and insert your key word, then press OK. 

2 - Staying in your web page, click in the toolbar at its top, “Edit”, “Find in this Page”.  That opens a little field in a sometimes-obscure location around the edges of your screen, probably the bottom.  Type your keyword there.  The computer will highlight any instance of that keyword on your webpage, scrolling you down to a location as necessary.  If there is no instance of it in the page [which, again, can go well beyond the originally-visible portion of your screen], the Find field will turn red.  That is your signal to try inserting a different keyword. 

3 - If the document you’re looking at is a PDF [i.e. it is a Bar Newsletter, or its document name ends with (after the dot) “PDF”], the searching options will depend on what version of Adobe your computer has.  Typically, there will be a special Adobe toolbar [located just below the top toolbar that says File, Edit etc.] that has an image of binoculars or a magnifying glass.  Hover your cursor over that image and see if it pops up the word “search” or “find” or “locate”.  If so, click on that image and follow the resulting instructions that pop up, for inserting your keyword and for reviewing any results it finds.  Be aware that many versions of Adobe are currently in use, and some of the very oldest had little or no search capacity.
