Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0
Finding Words
You can use the Find command to find a complete word or part of a word in the current PDF document. Acrobat Reader looks for the word by reading every word on every page in the file, including text in form fields.
To find a word using the Find command:
1. Click the Find button (Binoculars), or choose Edit > Find.
2. Enter the text to find in the text box.
3. Select search options if necessary:
Match Whole Word Only finds only occurrences of the complete word you enter in the box. For example, if you search for the word stick, the words tick and sticky will not be highlighted.
Match Case finds only words that contain exactly the same capitalization you enter in the box.
Find Backwards starts the search from the current page and goes backwards through the document.
4. Click Find. Acrobat Reader finds the next occurrence of the word.
To find the next occurrence of the word:
Do one of the following:
Choose Edit > Find Again
Reopen the find dialog box, and click Find Again. (The word must already be in the Find text box.)
Copying and pasting text and graphics to another application
You can select text or a graphic in a PDF document, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste it into another application such as a word processor. You can also paste text into a PDF document note or into a bookmark. Once the selected text or graphic is on the Clipboard, you can switch to another application and paste it into another document.
Note: If a font copied from a PDF document is not available on the system displaying the copied text, the font cannot be preserved. A default font is substituted.
To select and copy it to the clipboard:
1. Select the text tool T, and do one of the following:
To select a line of text, select the first letter of the sentence or phrase and drag to the last letter.
To select multiple columns of text (horizontally), hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag across the width of the document.
To select a column of text (vertically), Hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Option+Command (Mac OS) as you drag the length of the document.
To select all the text on the page, choose Edit > Select All. In single page mode, all the text on the current page is selected. In Continuous or Continuous – facing mode, most of the text in the document is selected. When you release the mouse button, the selected text is highlighted. To deselect the text and start over, click anywhere outside the selected text.
The Select All command will not select all the text in the document. A workaround for this (Windows) is to use the Edit > Copy command.
2. Choose Edit > Copy to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
3. To view the text, choose Window > Show Clipboard
In Windows 95, the Clipboard Viewer is not installed by default and you cannot use the Show Clipboard command until it is installed. To install the Clipboard Viewer, Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and then click the Windows Setup tab. Double-click Accessories, check Clipboard Viewer, and click OK.

I'M GOING TO ASK CAROL LANE, THE CHAIR OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES AND THE 2004 TAINTER SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS. EACH YEAR ABOUT THIS TIME, MY COLLEAGUES AND I GET TO MEET WITH SOME EXCEPTIONAL YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FROM OUR COMMUNITIES, AND THESE ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF THE BILL TAINTER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. BEFORE I TURN THIS OVER TO EACH SUPERVISOR TO INTRODUCE THE RECIPIENT FROM THEIR DISTRICT, WE JUST WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. BILL TAINTER WAS A LONG-TIME ADVOCATE FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED LEADER AND ROLE MODEL IN THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY. THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES ESTABLISHED THE TAINTER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM TO OFFER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES THE FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME MORE INDEPENDENT AND SELF-SUFFICIENT THROUGH HIGHER EDUCATION. TODAY'S RECIPIENTS ARE NO DIFFERENT AND ARE EXCEPTIONAL ROLE MODELS. SO WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH THE FIRST DISTRICT AND SUPERVISOR MOLINA?
SUP. MOLINA: MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS, I'M PLEASED TODAY TO HONOR MICHELLE GARCIA, THE TAINTER SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT WITHIN OUR FIRST DISTRICT. MICHELLE IS A GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR AND PLANS TO ATTEND L.A. CITY COLLEGE. HER GOAL IS TO BE A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER OR AN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER. MICHELLE, WE WANT TO APPLAUD YOU ON YOUR DESIRE TO PURSUE YOUR GOALS AND PRESENT YOU WITH A CERTIFICATE ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR GOOD WORK AND THE TERRIFIC GOALS THAT YOU HAVE BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, A CHECK FOR $2,000 THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT. WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE BILL TAINTER SCHOLARSHIP. IT IS HELPING A LOT OF STUDENTS AND I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS. CONGRATULATIONS, MICHELLE.
