Adding and Managing Bookmarks

Bookmarks make keeping track of web pages easy. If you haven't already used the bookmark feature, you should. It allows you to save those long address without writing a letter down. Additionally, Netscape has built in a way in which you can easily delete, rearrange, and put into folders URLs. This job aid will first show how to add a bookmark and then organize your ever growing list of bookmarks into a more manageable format.

Adding a bookmark

1. To add a bookmark, click and hold on the bookmark icon on the main menu bar ().

2. Move your mouse down to Add Bookmark and release the mouse. Your book mark has been added.

Managing your bookmarks

1. Click and hold on the Netscape button () on the menu bar. Move your mouse down to Bookmarks.

2. A window will open up with all of your bookmarks listed.

To DELETE a bookmark, simply click on it once and hit the delete key.

Note: Chances are it won't have your name across the top, but of the name the original user.

3. To change the order of your bookmarks, click and hold on a bookmark and move it. You will notice a line appears (as shown) when you move the mouse. This is the position where your bookmark will rest when you release the mouse.

3. To create a folder click and hold File on the menu bar and move your mouse down to New Folder.

Name your folder appropriately.

You may now move bookmarks into the folder by dragging them into the folder (as you might on the desktop).
