Command Code Tips and Hints

This page is to help newbies and to spread various tips found throughout the newsgroups about the various command codes. Command codes are performed by pressing the CMD key on your keyboard with another key at the same time to perform various functions.

This list is not all inclusive, and I will be adding as I find them. If you know of one not listed here, please drop me a line and I will add it.

Cut, Copy, and Paste Command Codes
NOTE: To use cut, copy and paste commands effectively, use the find function to pick your starting point. These commands will also include some 'shift + key' combinations as well. A practice area is included at the bottom of page

cmd + a This will highlight ALL text on a given page for copying.
cmd + c This will Copy all highlighted text.
cmd + v This will Paste copied text to email, homepage or to open fields

The following work best after using the find function on keyboard to locate starting point withing document.

cmd + b If you have passed the word up, then use this to go back to the previous time the word appears on the page.

This will highlight text in the direction that the arrow is pressed after finding the starting point with find.
