Use the Bookmarks menu for fast and easy access to your favorite pages.

• Choose Bookmarks|Add Bookmark to add the current Netscape page to the Bookmarks menu. Each time you add a page, the page's title is appended as a menu item. Simply select the title to display the page on your screen.
• Choose Windows|Bookmarks to display the Bookmarks window. The Bookmarks window has its own menu bar with items you can use to build and maintain one or more bookmark lists.

• Double-click on bookmarks to access pages.
• Drag and drop icons among folders to arrange your bookmarks.
• To build a hierarchical menu, create a folder in the Bookmarks window (choose Item|Insert Folder from the Bookmark window's menu bar). You can then drag an existing bookmark into the folder or choose Item|Insert Bookmark to add a new bookmark.

Bookmarks are maintained in lists, with each list represented by a bookmarks file. You can maintain multiple bookmark lists, each with its own set of titles linked to favorite pages, although only one bookmark list can be active at a time. You can select which list to display in the Bookmarks menu by choosing File|Open from the Bookmark window.

The Bookmarks window offers the following menu items:

• File|Open lets you select a bookmarks file to use as your active bookmarks file.
• File|Import lets you append the contents of a bookmarks file to the end of the active bookmarks file. Note that a bookmarks file is an HTML-formatted page; if you try to import an HTML page that is not a bookmark file, you may get nonfunctional bookmark entries.
• File|Save As saves the active bookmarks file as an HTML-formatted page. Enter a file name of your choosing, then press OK to create a bookmarks file.
• File|What's New checks your bookmarks to see which pages, if any, have undergone modifications since you last viewed them. Before the check, you're prompted as to whether you want to check all bookmarks or only selected bookmarks. After the check, a dialog tells you how many pages were reached and how many have changed.
• File|Close closes the bookmark window while saving the current list.
• File|Quit (Macintosh only) exits the Netscape application.
• Edit|Undo-Redo reverses the previous action.
• Edit|Cut removes the current selection and places a copy on the clipboard. If the selection includes a folder, the folder's contents are also included.
• Edit|Copy places a copy of the current selection on the clipboard. If the selection includes a folder, the folder's contents are also included.
• Edit|Paste places the contents of the clipboard into the bookmarks list after the current selection. If the selection is a folder, the new item is inserted into the folder as the first item.
• Edit|Delete removes the current selection. If the selection includes a folder, the folder's contents are also removed.
• Edit|Select All (Macintosh only) highlights all items in the window.
• Edit|Find Searches for items in the bookmark list (both titles and URLs). When a match is found, the item is selected.
• Edit|Find Again performs the Find command again.
• Item|Properties displays the Bookmark Properties window for a selected bookmark or header. It's only possible to see one properties window at a time.
• Item|Go to Bookmark displays the page specified by the current selection in the list (provided the current selection is a page title). This action is the same as double-clicking on a bookmark.
• Item|Sort Bookmarks arranges bookmark items in alphabetical order.
• Item|Insert Bookmark lets you add a new bookmark below the current selection in the list. You'll see the Bookmarks Properties window, where you enter the bookmark title you wish to use in the Name field (temporarily titled New Item) and the new item's URL in the Location field. You have the option of adding information to the Description field. The Last Visited field contains the date you last viewed the page. The Added on field contains the current date and time. Click OK to complete the insertion. Note that if the current selection is an open folder, the new item is inserted into the folder as the folder's first item. If the selection is a closed folder, the new item is inserted after the folder at the same level as the folder.
• Item|Insert Folder lets you add a new folder (and corresponding menu header) below the current selection. You'll see the Bookmarks Properties window, where you enter the name of the new folder (temporarily titled in theName text field). You have the option of adding information to the Description field. The Added on field contains the current date and time. (There's no information for the Location or Last Visited field.) Click OK to complete the insertion.
• Item|Insert Separator creates a separator line below the current selection in the list
• Item|Make Alias lets you create an alternate bookmark (an alias) that works in the same manner as the original bookmark. Using aliases, you can have the same bookmark in multiple folders. Unlike a copy of a bookmark, an alias automatically reflects any change made to the original bookmark.
• Item|Set to New Bookmarks Folder makes the selected folder the default bookmarks folder, so that each time you choose Add Bookmark from the Bookmarks menu, the bookmark you add goes into that folder. The default is the topmost folder. First select a folder, then choose Set to New Bookmarks Folder.
• Item|Set to Bookmark Menu Folder limits the bookmarks that appear under the Bookmarks menu to those beginning at the specified folder. The default is the entire listing. First, select a folder, then choose Set to Bookmark Menu Folder.

Selecting items

• On Windows and UNIX, double-click on a folder to display or hide its contents. On Macintosh, click on a folder arrow to display or hide its contents.
• Single-click on a bookmark or folder item to select or unselect the item. When you single-click on a folder, subsequent actions (such as editing and positioning) act upon all the contents of the folder.
• On Windows, select multiple items by holding down the Ctrl key (noncontiguous) or Shift key (contiguous). On Macintosh, select multiple items by holding down the Shift key (noncontiguous).
• On Windows, when a single bookmark is selected, the status area displays the bookmark's URL. Otherwise, the status area displays the number of items selected.

• Drag and drop items within a Bookmarks window to position them. While dragging an item around, you'll see a box or a line indicating the position where a drop will occur. When you drag an item over a folder, you'll see a box around the folder (a drop positions the item first in the folder list). When you drag an item over a bookmark or separator, you'll see a horizontal line between adjacent items (a drop positions the item at the line).
• Drag and drop a link from a Netscape page by clicking on the link and then dragging it into the Bookmarks window. The bookmark is added at the position of the drop.

• Bookmark shortcuts: On Windows 95 and Macintosh, drag and drop a bookmark icon from the Bookmarks window to the desktop to create a bookmark shortcut icon. You can double-click on a bookmark shortcut icon or drag the icon onto the Netscape window to open Netscape and display the page.
• Internet shortcuts: On Windows 95, drag and drop a link from a Netscape page to the desktop to create an Internet shortcut for a specific page.
