- Go to the following web page: http://www.education-world.com
- Place your cursor over one of the hyperlinks on the page. (Remember, it should turn into a hand.)
- In Windows, right-click on the link and you should get a pop-up menu.
- On a Mac, hold the mouse button down on the link for a few seconds and you should get a pop-up menu.
- Select Add to Favorites; this will automatically place the bookmark for this link in your Favorites file.
| Practice Exercise 3: Using Your Bookmarks |
Practice returning to the pages you have bookmarked in this lesson by going to the Favorites menu and selecting the above three web sites (CNN, Fodor's, and Education World).
- Select Favorites from the menu bar or toolbar.
- Select the bookmark that you want to visit.
Bookmark Harmony
For those of you using both MS Internet Explorer and Netscape:
Would you like your Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer bookmarks to coexist peacefully? Take a look at a shareware program called NavEx. NavEx converts Favorites to Bookmarks and Bookmarks to Favorites. Isn't that comforting? (taken from TipWorld, Oct. 19, 1998)
