Most relatively new -- and many extremely experienced -- Internet
users see their browser as little more than a window to the Web.
Few take the time to explore the many useful tools their Internet
browser provides. Internet Explorer, for example, one of the most
commonly used browsers, has a number of little known bells and whistles
that can make your Web work simpler and smarter. If you're one of
those Web surfers who has yet to dive beneath the surface of Internet
Explorer, this techtorial is for you.
The best way to complete the techtorial successfully is to have
both the instructions and your browser window available at the same
time. To do that, you'll need to either print the techtorial or
open two IE windows at the same time.
To print the techtorial:
Click the blue bar at the top of this techtorial window. Hold down
the mouse button and drag the slide until you can see the first
slide of the techtorial beneath it. Click Printable Version of Techtorial.
Then, click the Print icon or click File > Print > OK. Now, you
can read the printed instructions and follow those instructions
in Internet Explorer.
To open two Internet Explorer windows:
Open Internet Explorer. Click File > New > Window. Then you can
click the first Internet Explorer window to read the instructions,
and click the second IE window to follow those instructions.
"Window juggling" is an excellent skill to have. It allows
you to work with any two programs -- Microsoft Word and Internet
Explorer, for example -- at the same time.
