Bookmarks

Bookmarks in Netscape are used for the same purpose as a more traditional bookmark. A bookmark allows the reader or user to jump to a particular page. In this case it would be a particular Webpage.

When you have located a Webpage that you think you would like to revisit, you can add a bookmark to Netscape. With the page displayed on your screen, click on the Bookmark icon located to the left of the Netsite/Location box. A list will drop down indicating all your current bookmarks as well as Add Bookmark, File Bookmark and Edit Bookmark, as shown in Figure 5-9. You will notice that some of the bookmarks are located in folders. Figure 5-9 shows the contents of one of the folders. Arranging and filing your bookmarks will be addressed in a few paragraphs. If you select Add Bookmark, a shortcut to the current Webpage will be added to your bookmark list.

To use a bookmark, click on the Bookmark icon as indicated above. Select the bookmark of the page that you would like to visit and Netscape will immediately begin to retrieve that page.

The Bookmarks window will display the contents of the Bookmarks list in a tree format. To access the Bookmarks window, select Edit Bookmarks from the Bookmarks list shown in Figure 5-9. Your Bookmarks window will look similar to Figure 5-10. To expand a folder to see it's contents, click on the plus sign (+) beside the folder. The tree format will expand. To collapse the tree down again, click on the minus sign (-). To go directly to any page listed in the Bookmarks window, double click on the listing.
