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.

How to Clear the Console in R

Sometimes the console gets a bit messy in R and its nice to clear things out to ensure a program is running correctly and without any errors or warnings.  I have found two ways to clear the console.

Keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl+L in Windows
Command+L in Mac

Programmatically:
cat(rep("\n",64)) essentially adds a lot of character returns

There are probably a host of other ways to do this programmatically, so please include suggestions in the comments.  For example, I saw cat("\014") as an example when Goggling this, but the code does not seem to work on my PC.
