Finding a specific name in text. Can't remember how to do it.
« on: Saturday 18 February 17 09:50 GMT (UK) »
 ::) I used to know which keys to press to highlight a specific name in a long piece of text.
Could anyone remind me what to do?

Ctrl + "F".
That usually works, but it depends on what application you are using to look at the text?
