Web pages can include text, pictures, video and audio content.
Each page has it's own special address on the Web so you can find it. By simply entering or copying a web address into the browser window, the software will search the web for the page and display it. Words and graphics on the page may be highlighted or underlined. By clicking on them, you follow a link to related information. Typically, you'll want to search the Web for pages about a topic or subject.
