Toolbar (on MSIE5)
1. The toolbar buttons are commonly used shortcuts for items found in the menu bar options
2. The blue E spins when looking for a page
3. View > Toolbar > Click, will hide toolbar
A ddress Field (or Address window)
The area you read or type an Internet address into
You must have the insert cursor (the blinky line) there to type - if it is not present, click in the white area.
Internet addresses usually start with http:// - when typing in an address which starts this way, it is not necessary to type that portion of the address in
When you see an address which starts with anything else (for example - ftp:// or archie://) you must type this into the address field along with the rest of the address.
You may see other addresses which are numbers, for example (made-up), - http://205.23.55.1 - This is the server's name, and will work just like any other address.
The first click you make in the address field will turn the entire address blue - it is selected and the next thing you type will replace the entire text.
A double-click in the field will first and briefly turn the text blue the immediately place the insert cursor at the place of the click. You will then be able to edit the address letter by letter.
Status bar – located directly above taskbar

Hints for navigating Web pages
Hyper-links (or just called links)
Places on a web page which will take you to another related page
Found by:
passing the mouse pointer over text or pictures and seeing the mouse pointer change from the white arrow to a white hand -pointer finger up.
looking for text which is underlined and (usually) blue or purple
looking for pictures which have a (usually) blue or purple border
Learning to scan a site for the information you need
Before clicking on anything - use the scroll bar to see what the page holds
Many sites have a colored bar on the left side which holds links or buttons to various other sites on their page - look at these first to see if they will provide a direct link to your desired information
Find links by passing your mouse over text and pictures and looking for the mouse pointer to change from a white arrow to a white hand with the pointing finger up.
When using a search engine, scan the site summaries to see if the site fits your search criteria.
Banners and Advertisers
Banners - big (and usually moving) picture frames located at the very top or very bottom of a page
Advertisers - help pay for hosting or posting the site on the WWW by buying space for their advertising banners
Found on many sites on the Internet
Tend to be confusing and will draw your attention away from your search - which of course is their purpose
They are usually the sponsors of the page (they pay a portion of the money to keep the page on the Internet) - clicking on the banner registers a "hit" for that web site and amounts to an endorsement of the web page you are on. Click on the back button to get back to your original page.
Frames on web pages and their scroll bars
Often you will encounter a page with "Frames" - this means that the page will have scroll bars that function within the page itself.
Use these just as you would the scroll bar on the right. They are designed to simplify your navigation within the site.

Starting the Download Process
Click on the Get Acrobat Reader logo
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Get Acrobat Reader (the free version).
Fill in the information for steps 1, 2, and 3. You might consider “unchecking” the two boxes on step 2 – this will stop unnecessary e-mail from being sent to you.
Wait until you see a gray window called File Download and click beside Save This Program to a Disk.
Click OK
A Save As box appears. If it doesn’t say Desktop in the Save in: window, click on the button with the black triangle pointing down beside the Save in: field, and change the words to Desktop.
Click on the Save button, and wait until the Download Complete message appears. Click on the OK button.
Send the Internet to the taskbar.
Installing Acrobat Reader to your hard drive
Double click on the red box-like icon just created on your desktop to start the installation process.
Click on the Next button.
Click on the Next button.
When installation is complete, click on OK.
Opening Acrobat Reader for the first time from desktop
Double click on the Acrobat Reader icon
Click on Accept button

It is usually a good idea to throw away the file you downloaded to your desktop once you have installed it – just to keep a “clean house”. In this case, you should drag the red box-like icon to the recycle bin.
