Anybody know how to specify broad match vs. exact match for keywords?

Maybe I'm blind or tired (or both), but I can't find it.

After you enter your keywords, and when they are appearing in the box on the right. Notice a pull down menu just above... The default is Broad match..

Use their bulk upload spreadsheets if you're using MSN - even if it's a small number of keywords. Once you've done it once (and learned how it works), it'll save you a ton of time thereafter and allow quicker (and more obvious control) over match type and corresponding bid.

On MSN for your single term words ... exact match is a better option, you pay less ... and you know your paying for exactly what the user typed in and clicked on ....
