INTERNET TIPS:

Opening a URL
If you are opening up a 'location' in MS Internet Explorer or a 'page' in Netscape, you need to type in the unique section of the URL address. This will save you typing in "http://www". Both browsers recognise that you are requiring a world wide web address.

Multiple open windows
You can have more than one browser window opened at a time. Depending on the capacity of your computer, you can have as many windows as is needed, especially if you wish to compare one page with another.

Bookmarks
You can save a location that you wish to return by adding the site to your bookmarks
In Netscape go to Communicator/Bookmarks and add to bookmarks
In Microsoft Internet Explorer go to: Favourites/Add to Favourites and then select a folder.

Saving Web pages
To save the current web page for viewing offline:
If the page is not in a frame, use File, Save as (file type HTML) and save the file on your disk for viewing later. This saves only the text and formatting of the page.
To save the images, hold the mouse pointer over the image and use the right mouse button to get save image as.
If the page is within a frame, put the mouse over the link to the page, and use the right mouse button to save link as and save in the normal way. This will save only the contents of that frame.

Saving Web Pages (2)
People often want to copy the text from a Web page and paste it into a Word document. If you do an ordinary Paste (Ctrl-V), you'll not only get the text but you'll also get the fonts and the text formatting from the Web page. A simple way around this is, in Word, click Edit, Paste Special, and click on "Unformatted Text". You'll paste text with no formatting at all.
