Browsing the Web  


Viewing a Web Page

Viewing a Web Page
To view a Web page, first connect to the Internet. Then access Internet Explorer Mobile by selecting Start > Internet Explorer. Enter a Web address in the address bar.
Many of Internet Explorer Mobile’s features can be accessed by selecting the Menu button at the bottom of the screen. From here, you can add and view Favorites, view your Web page History, change your view, zoom, access tools and edit.
Changing Views
Internet Explorer Mobile gives you several content viewing options: Default mode, Desktop mode (similar to what you’d see on your PC) and One Column mode, in which the browser renders all the text on a page into a single intuitive column so that it’s more navigable. You can also change the view to Full Screen. Finally, you can easily turn pictures off to make downloading faster or conserve the amount of data transferred.
You can access the different viewing options by selecting the Menu button at the bottom of screen and selecting View.
Landscape Mode
One new feature that makes it easier to browse the Web is Landscape mode, which lets you turn the screen orientation sideways so that more Web text is visible. (The default setting is Portrait mode.) Some devices will include an icon in the bottom right of the Today Screen that you can select to switch between Portrait and Landscape modes. In addition, some devices dynamically change their screen orientation from Portrait to Landscape mode depending upon the task being performed.
You can also change modes by selecting Start > Settings and then selecting the System tab. Select the Screen icon (you may have to scroll down).
Select either Landscape (right-handed) or Landscape (left-handed). Select OK (in the upper right-hand corner). Your screen display will change to Landscape mode.
