You move to a new page by typing its URL 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. Adding and Deleting Toolbar Buttons To add a toolbar button for the page you are viewing: Drag the bookmark icon to the Personal Toolbar and drop it at the desired position. To add a toolbar button for a bookmark or bookmark folder: 1. Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Edit Bookmarks. 2. Select a bookmark or bookmark folder. 3. From the File menu, choose Add Selection to Toolbar. Although each item in the Personal Toolbar folder appears as a toolbar button, you may need to make the window wider to see them all. To designate a bookmark folder as your Personal Toolbar folder: 1. Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Edit Bookmarks. 2. Select the bookmark folder whose items you want to appear on the toolbar. 3. From the View menu, choose Set as Toolbar Folder. To add a toolbar button for a mail, discussion group, or address book item: 1. Open the window for mail, discussion groups, or address books. 2. Drag and drop the icon of the mail, discussion group, or address book item onto the Personal Toolbar. To delete a toolbar button: 1. Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Edit Bookmarks. 2. Drag the toolbar item from the Personal Toolbar folder to another folder. To remove the item entirely, select it and press Delete. Adjusting the Component Bar The component bar is a small toolbar normally at the bottom right of the Communicator window (docked position). It contains icons labeled Navigator, Mailbox, Address Book, and Composer. To expand and move the component bar: Click the lines at the left edge of the component bar. Drag the title bar to move the component bar to the desired location. To dock the component bar: On Windows and Mac OS, click the close box.

"Always use my colors, overriding document" to override the color and background settings specified by the author of the page. Organizing Your
Bookmarks To bookmark a web page: 1. Go to the web page you want to bookmark. 2. Click Bookmarks. On Mac OS, open the Bookmarks menu--the green bookmark icon to the right of the Go menu. 3. Choose Add Bookmark. The name of the currently displayed page is added as the last item in the Bookmark menu. By the way: Some preselected bookmarks came with your Netscape software. To revisit a bookmarked web page: 1. Click Bookmarks. On Mac OS, open the Bookmarks menu. 2. Choose a bookmarked page. Searching the Bookmark List To search for specific bookmarks: 1. Click Bookmarks and choose Edit Bookmarks. (On Mac OS, open the Communicator menu and choose Bookmarks). 2. Open the Edit menu and choose Find in Bookmarks. 3.

Shortcut Customizing Your
Browser Changing Fonts Checking the Freshness of Your Bookmarks To find out if a bookmarked page
has been modified since your last viewing: Handling
Cookies Navigator can handle many types of files. However, for some files, such as movies, Navigator launches a "helper" application that can handle the file, or it saves the file for you to view later. The settings in the Applications preferences panel tell Navigator which helper applications to use on your computer. You probably don't need to change them because they come preconfigured. Also, if Navigator doesn't know which helper application to use, it guides you in finding one. For experienced users to fine-tune the Applications preferences: 1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 2. Click the Navigator category; then click Applications. 3. To add a new helper application to the list, click New Type (New on Mac OS and Unix). Type a description of the type of files the application works with; for instance, "movies" or "sound files." Type the file extension (suffix) used by this file type. If this type of file uses more than one suffix, type them all, separated by spaces. Examples: text documents often have the suffix "txt"; some image files have the suffix "gif"; and HTML documents have the suffix "htm" or "html." Type the MIME type. MIME types consist of two words separated by a slash (/). For instance, a TIFF image file's MIME type is "image/tiff". If you don't know the MIME type, leave the field blank. On Windows, click Browse and select an application that handles files of this type. On Mac OS and Unix, click Application, then click Choose. Click OK. 4. You can specify how Navigator should handle downloaded files. Select a file type from the list and click Edit. Choose a "Handled By" option to have downloaded files opened in a Navigator window, saved on your hard disk, or opened in a application that you specify. Click Browse (Choose on Mac OS) to specify the application. Check "Ask me before opening downloaded files of this type" if you want to be notified before downloading files that are handled by applications other than Navigator. Click OK. 5. To remove an item from the list: Select the item and click Remove. Click Yes. 6. (Mac OS and Unix only) Communicator temporarily stores downloaded files on your disk. You can select a new default folder if, for example, your disk is short on space and you want to store temporary files elsewhere. Click Choose. Find the folder you want and double-click to select it. Improving Speed, Efficiency, and Privacy Automatic Loading When you bring a web page to your screen, Communicator automatically loads (starts up) several features that help interpret web pages. These features can make web pages more lively, but they take time to load. To turn off automatic loading: 1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 2. Click the Advanced category. 3. To speed things up, deselect one or more of the following: Automatically load images. Automatically displays images in a web page when you view the page. If unselected, images are replaced by small icons, and you click the Images button in the toolbar to view the images. Enable Java. Allows Java applets (small programs that add functionality to pages) to run automatically. Enable JavaScript. Allows JavaScript (commands that add functionality to pages) to run automatically. Enable style sheets. Displays pages formatted by style sheets as the author intended. If unselected, author's formats aren't included. Enable Autoinstall. Allows Communicator software to be automatically updated over your office or organization's network. (In some organizations, this is predetermined by a system administrator.) Send Email address as anonymous FTP password. Transmits your Email address automatically when you log on to a public FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site. FTP sites are used for transferring files. Getting the Latest Software Automatically SmartUpdate allows software to be automatically and securely installed on your machine in one step. To turn SmartUpdate on or off: 1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. 2. Open the Advanced group and click SmartUpdate. Select Enable SmartUpdate to turn it on. Select "Require manual confirmation of each install" if you want to be notified each time SmartUpdatete tries to install a program or file on your computer. To uninstall a SmartUpdate item, select one of the SmartUpdates on the left side and click the Uninstall button. Keeping Multiple
Bookmark Lists Printing a Page To view the previous page: Click Back (or Forward). Navigator maintains a history list of pages you have viewed recently, as determined by your preferences. Open the Communicator menu, choose Tools, then History. To view a page, double-click its line in the list. Sorting the History List Click one of the categories (Title, Location, and so forth). Click again to reverse the order (ascending or descending by date, number, or alphabetical order). Searching the History List 1. Open the Edit menu and choose Search History List. 2. Click the first pop-up menu and choose a search category. 3. Click the second pop-up menu and choose an option. Choose "is" if you know exactly what you're searching for; "contains" if you know only part. Choose "isn't" or "doesn't contain" to exclude pages. 4. Click the third field and type all or part of the title, location, or other information you want to search for (or exclude). 5. (Optional) To narrow the search further, click More one or more times and enter additional search criteria. To reverse this action, click Fewer. 6. Click Search. Pages matching your search criteria are listed. To use the search results: Double-click a page in the list to go to it. Click Save As to save the list as an HTML page. Click Clear to delete your search criteria. Connecting from Anywhere Setting Up Roaming Access Roaming Access lets you connect to Communicator--with the same preferences, bookmarks, cookies, and other items that you normally use--when you are away from your desk, using a shared computer, or working from home. If your network administrator has not set up Roaming Access, this panel does not appear. To set up Roaming Access: 1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. 2. Click Roaming Access. Select "Enable Roaming Access for this profile." Type your user name. Select Remember my roaming password" to avoid typing your password each time you "roam." To access your Email from anywhere, you must be using IMAP to retrieve your mail. For more information on IMAP, see Using the Mail Server Property Panel - General. Specifying Where Your Roaming Profile Is Located Communicator needs to know which server your roaming profile is on. Your network administrator usually provides this information. Your roaming profile contains your preferences, bookmarks, cookies, and other items you use in Communicator. 1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. 2. Open the Roaming Access category and click Server Information. If your roaming access profile is on an LDAP Directory Server, specify the server's location under Address. If your roaming access profile is on an HTTP server, specify the profile's location under Base URL. Saving a Page To save an entire page: Choose Save As from the File menu. When you view a page containing frames and a frame is currently selected, the File menu's Save Frame As option is offered in addition to Save As. This lets you save only the page within the selected frame. Saving a file onto your hard disk lets you view the page (or its HTML code) when you're not connected to the Internet. To save an image from a page: 1. Right-click the image (on Mac OS, press and hold the mouse button) to display a pop-up menu. 2. Choose Save Image As. To save a page without displaying it (useful for retrieving a non-formatted page, like a data file, that's not intended for viewing): 1. Right-click the page's link (on Mac OS, press and hold the mouse button) to display a pop-up menu. 2. Choose Save Link As. Important: Some links automatically download and save files to disk after you click them. The URLs for these links often begin with "ftp" or end with a file-type suffix such as "au" or "mpeg". These links might transmit software, sound, or movie files, and can launch helper applications that support the files. 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. Setting Language Priorities Web pages are sometimes available in several languages. Navigator presents pages in the language you prefer, if it is available. You can specify the languages you wish to see, in order of preference. To set language priorities: 1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 2. Open the Navigator category; then click Languages. 3. Click Add. 4. Select a language and its code. If you wish to add a code not on the list, type the language and its code in the Others field (see Note, below). 5. If you want to reorder the languages in the list, select a language and use the up and down arrows. Note: Two-letter codes enclosed in brackets appear next to each language in the list. These are standard abbreviations for languages. Setting Proxy Values Many organizations block access from the Internet to their networks. This prevents outside parties from gaining access to sensitive information. The protection is called a firewall. If your organization has a firewall, Communicator may need to go through a proxy server before connecting you to the Internet. The proxy server prevents outsiders from breaking into your organization's private network. Before you start: If there's a proxy configuration file at your workplace, ask the system administrator for its URL. If there's no proxy configuration file, ask your system administrator for the names and port numbers of the servers running proxy software for each network service. To set Communicator to work with the proxy: 1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 2. Click the Advanced category and choose Proxies. 3. Select one of the following: "Direct Connection to the Internet" if you don't have to go through a proxy. "Automatic proxy configuration" if you have a proxy configuration file. Type the file's URL in the field and click Reload. "Manual proxy configuration" if you don't have a proxy configuration file. Click View (Configure on Mac OS), and type your settings and any exceptions (see Details below). Details: Your computer may connect to several different servers (computers that handle networking matters). Each server handles a specific type of network service, such as communicating with HTTP sites or dealing with security. For each server, your manual configuration must specify which server runs the proxy software. Under "Address of proxy server to use," type the name or numeric IP address of the proxy server for each type of server (HTTP, Security, FTP, Socks, Gopher, and WAIS). Often a single proxy server handles the three major types of server: HTTP, FTP, and Gopher. Under "Port" type each proxy server's port number. Under Exceptions, type the names of any domains that you can connect to directly, bypassing the proxy. For example, if you type "netscape.com," then the proxy is bypassed each time you view a web page from netscape.com. Domain names are the part of a URL that contains the name of an organization, business, or school--such as netscape.com or washington.org. If you use local host names without the domain name, list them the same way. Use commas to separate multiple hostnames. The wildcard character [*] cannot be used. Finding the Pages You Want (Smart Browsing) The Smart Browsing feature helps you quickly find what you want on the Internet (and filter out what you don't want). It includes: What's Related: A list of URLs (addresses) for web sites related to the page you're currently viewing. To view related sites, click the What's Related button and select from the list. Internet Keywords: A shorthand way of typing addresses into the Location field. NetWatch: A protection feature that lets you control the type of web pages that can be viewed on your computer. To use NetWatch, open the Help menu and choose NetWatch. To set up Smart Browsing: 1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 2. Open the Navigator category and click Smart Browsing. 3. Select Enable "What's Related." 4. Select an option under "Automatically load 'What's Related' information." This option determines when Navigator fetches the related sites' URLs. Never: Navigator waits until you click the What's Related button to fetch related
sites' URLs. Specifying Files to Be Transferred at Startup and Shutdown You can choose which files should be updated when you start and exit Communicator. You can update your bookmarks, cookies, mail filters, address books, preferences, history, Java security, and certificates. If you have a slow connection, larger files (such as certificates and history) take longer to transfer. The most useful files to transfer are references, bookmarks, cookies and your Address Book.1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. 2. Open the Roaming Access group and click File Selection. 3. Choose the files you want transferred at startup and shutdown. Specifying the Components That Appear at Startup Normally, Navigator starts automatically when you open Communicator. To specify different starting components: 1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. 2. Click the Appearance category. 3. Check each component you want to be launched at startup. Note: For information on other items in the Appearance preferences, see Changing What's Displayed on Toolbar Buttons. Specifying the Starting Page The home page is displayed when you click the Home button. The home page is normally your starting page, the first page displayed when Navigator starts. To choose a new home page: 1. Open the page that you want to use as your home page. 2. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 3. Click the Navigator category. 4. Click Use Current Page to select the current page as your home page. To choose a starting page other than your home page: 1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 2. Select the Navigator category. 3. Select a "Navigator starts with" option. Specifying
