Most browsers have a built-in way to let you do that.

• Go to the page that contains your search word.
• Wait until the page is completely loaded into your browser.
• For Netscape users, pull down the "Edit" menu from the menu bar at the top of your Netscape window. Then click on the "Find" or "Find in Page" item. You'll figure it out from there.
• For Microsoft Internet Explorer users, do the same as the Netscape users do.
• If you use another browser and know how to set this option, tell us via email and we'll add it to this list of instructions.

The "find" capability only locates words on the page you are currently reading. To locate a word on all the pages in the Washington Co., PA GenWeb site, use the Site Search.

One way to speed things up is to stop the graphics (pictures) on the page from being loaded into your browser. Most browsers have an option you can set that prevents graphics from being loaded, thereby speeding up page changes.

• For Netscape users, pull down the "Options" menu and click off the "Auto Load Images" item. You can tell if it is turned off if there is no check in front of the item.
• For Microsoft Internet Explorer users, pull down the "View" menu for the menu bar at the top of your Internet Explorer window. Click on the "Options..." item. This will cause a dialog box to be displayed. Click on the tab that says "General". Then, click off "Show Pictures".
• If you use another browser and know how to set this option, tell us via email and we'll add it to this list of instructions.
