Finding Menu Options

Another small feature of MacOS that I use often is the help search feature. This searches for the text you type in the program's menu options. The image here shows searching for "Picture" in Word. Selecting one of the found options opens the menu and a pointer indicates where the option is. You can then either click the menu or just execute it directly from the help itself.


This has actually changed the way I use the menu itself. I no longer try to remember where a menu option is. Instead I use the help to search and execute the option.
