Microsoft Word Keyboard Shortcut for Find and Replace
I can't find an easy way to open the find and replace dialogue box in newer versions of Microsoft Word. There must be some way to access this by the ribbon or other menu in MS Word, but I can not seem to find it. What I have found, however, is an easy keyboard shortcut to find and replace text in a MS Word document. In the open file (.doc or .docx) just use the following shortcut keys and the find/replace window will appear:
CTRL + H
**Update: I found the point and click approach for bringing up the find and replace dialogue box! If you are on the home tab of newer MS Word versions, the button is located on the far right. There is a section for editing that includes a find, replace, and select menu.

Generate Public/Private RSA Key Pair for SFTP
To access an SFTP server, an SSH public key must be created and shared with the SFTP host. To generate a public/private key pair the ssh-keygen utility in UNIX can be used. This program will calculate a key pair for you by following these steps:
(1) At the UNIX prompt, type ssh-keygen. A message will appear indicating the application is generating the public/private rsa key pair.
(2) You will next be prompted to enter the location where you want to save the key. You can specify a filename or just leave the space blank and press Enter.
(3) Afterwards you will be prompted to enter a passphrase to use as a password. Enter your passphrase here or you can opt to leave the space blank. It is acceptable to simply hit Enter to proceed without specifying a passphrase.
(4) Finally, you will be prompted to re-enter your passphrase.
That is all there is to creating a public and private key pair. To access the remote SFTP server the administrator will need you to forward a copy of your public key to set up your account. The public key will be a file with one line that includes "ssh-rsa", a long key code, followed by your account name and host name (ex: user@host.school.edu). The file extension will be .pub.
