The cat figured he would be nice and help out. I told a few and they never knew it was about. Makes things easier comes to pass. On that you can trust my little rhyming ass.
Did you know about those little tricks? Can get things done with a few clicks. A few I told never knew one bit. So I figured just in case I would share it. Helps a lot when you have to change many things at once because when you wrote it you were umm kinda a dunce. Yeah, been there done that in mass. No need to thank my ctrl+f - ing little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.
What do we have here?
Jello to fear?
Nah, nothing like that.
Who needs that scat?
Instead let's help,
Before all yelp.
I'm being helpful soon.
I am a mouthy loon.
Say you wrote a story.
All done in its glory.
Whoops, a word needs to change.
Oh no, that word has range.
You need to change them all.
One by one wastes time at any hall.
So hit ctrl+f in word.
Then flip the one by one the bird.
Type in what you want changed.
Hit replace all so it's rearranged.
Poof, a minute instead of an hour.
Now that is time saving power.
But ctrl+f is not through.
Say you come to a yappy zoo.
Like Blue here yapping about his shoe.
You want to find the retort to you.
Hit ctrl+f at your sea.
Type what you want to come to be.
Then you can scroll through the page to your name,
Or whatever other word you claim.
Did you hit it yet?
That may be a safe bet.
See how easy it is?
But wait, there's a quiz.
What do you press in Word?
Hint: it allows you to flip one by one the bird.
Not that a computer cares about a finger.
But it may feel good to let it linger.
What do you press in any internet window?
Hint: it makes what you want easy to find and show.
Not that you really want to skip.
But sometimes you may just want to give me lip.

Cat's the one
He knows a ton
A lot about a little
DeleteA little about a lot
Unless the brain goes brittle
Then things may go to pot
Back in the dinosaur age, before computers had mouses (mice?), I knew all the ctrl tricks. Forget them all!
ReplyDeleteNow just clickity click
DeleteFor your pick
I've been hitting that control F for about five minutes. It still has not taken the garbage down to the curb. I don't think it works cat and Pat.
ReplyDeleteNeeds to teach in better manners
DeleteOr get some garbage planners
I actually did know the Find/Replace option. I'm not sure where I learned it.
ReplyDeleteMy Word programs were all free from my school. We were supposed to have access to it for life. Yesterday that ended, lol. Now I'm stuck with WordPad until I decide to fork over some dough to buy the Microsoft programs again. meh #someday
Blah, Wordpad stinks
DeleteFalse advertising me thinks
You could sue
Get it free and dough too lol
I'll pay eventually. I just want the disc though, not the cloud version that you rent monthly. I didn't even know there was such a thing until now.
DeleteYeah, I saw the stupid cloud thing too
DeleteDisc version is way better at ones zoo
All tricks up in the cat's bag it seems. Greetings!
ReplyDeleteA full bag
DeleteNever a drag
Although I might say Jello for Hello when I answer the phone sometimes, ummm thinking I'm funny, I use find and replace all the stinking time. Great tip!!!
ReplyDeletehaha it can amuse on the phone
DeleteMaking them look at the tone
Know these tricks at my bay
ReplyDeleteCome in handy for work I say.
Betty
Yeah, handy they are
DeleteAt any work bar
Global search and replace
ReplyDeleteCan be a nightmare in the workplace
With things it can screw
DeleteAnd cause a hupaloo
That's an invaluable tool, especially for writers. It allows us to find and destroy those pesky words and phrases that tend to sneak into our manuscripts and multiply. (I swear, I think aliens must put them there...)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we'll go with aliens too
DeleteAs they are sure in view
Clicks galore
ReplyDeleteRight or left
I never remember
Leaves me bereft
Can't keep on task
DeleteHead for the flask

ReplyDeleteSure knows many
DeleteBeats not knowing any
Yeah, Find and Replace sure can save you a lot of time!
ReplyDeleteDoing it one by one

I might try replacing chicken with tuna and see if it works!
ReplyDeleteA neat trick
DeleteMix and match some slick

ReplyDeleteYou must think you're slick.

Always being nicey nice could get vile lo
Love find and replace. Not quite as much as copy and paste- but it is a good one for sure. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
Yeah, sure does the trick
DeleteMaybe not quite as slick
At bar this girl was fantasy
ReplyDeleteOf all other men she chose me
It’s her place she picks
To teach me some tricks
For she had me fix stuff for free
Free labor at that

I use Google at will
Google swoops in
