Moving to Another Page
You move to a new page by
typing its URL--its location (address) on the Web.
1.On Windows
and Unix, open the File menu and choose Open Page. Then click the Navigator
button.
On Mac OS, open the File
menu and choose Open, then Location in Navigator.
2.Type the new URL,
then click Open.
Shortcut: Click the Location
(or Netsite) field, type the URL, and press Enter.
Don't know a URL? You can
type part of a URL, such as "apple" (for www.apple.com); or type a general
word, such as "gifts" or "flowers." Navigator guesses what page you want
to view, or displays a page with a choice of links related to the word
you typed.
To move by clicking a
link:
1.Move the
pointer until it changes to a pointing finger. This happens whenever the
pointer is over a link.
2.Click the link
once. While the network locates the page the link points to, status messages
appear at the bottom of the window.
To move to related pages:
Click "What's Related"
and choose from the list.
If you change your mind and
don't want to view a page, click Stop.
Searching Within a Page
To find text within the
page you are currently viewing:
1.From the Edit menu,
choose Find in Page. If the page you are viewing contains frames, you may
need to click within a frame first.
2.Type the text you
want to find.
3.Select the "Match
case" checkbox (Case Sensitive on Mac OS and Unix) if capital letters should
be matched.
4.On Windows, select
Up or Down to search from the beginning or end of the page. If there is
a current selection, the search begins at the selection and does not wrap
around to the beginning of the page. On Mac OS and Unix, click Find Backwards
to start the search from the end of the page.
5.Click Find Next
(Find on Mac OS) to begin the search.
To find the same word or
phrase again:
Click Find Next
again (Windows only), or open the Edit menu and choose Find Again.
