Are you tired of reading about computer stuff? Then send me something else to post. <grin> Till then I wanted to bore you with several tips on how to get the most out of the Classmate Email Directory.
First, don't waste time scrolling the list looking for a name unless your vision is 20-20 and you have plenty of time to kill. There are 225 names on the list currently, and hopefully more will be added. The quickest way to find someone is to search for them. If you have a full name for them you can use the first, middle, or last name in your search. Also, part of a name will sometimes work.
To start a search click in the rectangular box with the word "Find" showing inside the box. The box is located on the right side of the Toolbar at the top of the Directory. If you don't see such a Toolbar on your browser press the F8 key to see if that will open the Toolbar. If it doesn't, try Ctrl + F and see if a Search box opens. If neither of those work you may need to upgrade your version of Adobe Reader software. If you do have a search box type the name you want to search for and press the Enter key. Do that till you find your target or until nothing is found.
The second tip is related to the first one. If you want to email the person you find just click on their email address and your email program should open with the person's email address already in the To: line. If that doesn't work you can highlight the email address, copy it, and paste it into your email To: line.
The last tip has to do with the easiest way to make the email address list as large as possible without cutting off any data. Near the middle of the Toolbar I mentioned previously there is a small box showing a percentage figure. On the right side of that box is a small downward pointing arrow. Click that arrow and select "Fit Visible."
Searching computer generated documents is a real time saver. If you've never done much of it, jump in.
