7. Click ok
8. You will now go to the Excite Search Engine when you click on Home. (try it)

4. The middle box of the Navigator section will say "Home page"

1. Click onto the "white space" of the page to make the page "active" - this tells the browser that this is the Page that you want to work with..
2. Click on the word Edit on the toolbar and then click on Find in Page. (or Press and hold the Ctrl key and then press f)
3. A dialogue box will appear prompting you to enter the text you are looking for.
4. Enter the text, in this case the word welcome, (or just the first few letters as it automatically works with truncation) and click on Find (or hit the enter button)

1. Purpose: to see whether or not a page is encrypted (i.e. secure) in order to do credit card transactions, etc...
2. Note: Encryption just means that the number you enter is coded when traveling through the network, and that only the person who is suppose to receive it will have the key to unlock the code.
3. Look at the padlock on the toolbar, if you are on a secure page the padlock is locked.  Additionally, there is a padlock in the lower left side of the screen.
4. If the padlock is unlocked the page is not secure (personally, I'm not going to put my credit card information in on a non-secure page)
5. The page we are on now doesn't need security, therefore the padlock won't lock.
6. Note: Clicking on the Security button doesn't turn it on, rather it shows you information about the pages security.  Remember again, you CANNOT turn security on, that is up to the people asking for your credit card #.
7. Follow this link to see what a "locked padlock" looks like. (The link takes you to the Amazon.com shopping cart page).

1. One thing to always consider in Netscape is that what you see is not always what you get...
2. Therefore, to print only the pages you want from Netscape it is best to use Print Preview
3. First, click on File and then Click on Print Preview
4. The Print Preview window will open showing the page as it will look when printed, additionally, it will show on the lower left hand side of the page the page number of how many pages (i.e. 1 of 5)
5. You can then determine which page(s) to print, click on the Print button in Print Preview mode and enter the proper range.
6. Try it with this page.

1. Printing the desired Frame:

- Clicking on the white area on this side of the gray bar, clicking makes this frame "active" - in other words, it tells the browser that this is the Frame that you want to work with.
- Click on File on the toolbar and then click on Print Frame
- Go ahead and click print (it's free during classes)


2. Exploding a Frame/Opening a Frame in a new window:

- Right click in the white area of the frame to the left
- Choose Open Frame in New Window from the menu that appears to tell Netscape to open the page as it's own window.
- After you explode a page from it's frame, you can see it's address and work with Print Preview.
- Note: this will not always work, some pages are designed to stay in their Frameset and will constantly reload in frames.

1. Click on Edit and then click on preferences...
2. Click on Appearance and then click on Colors
3. Click on Text color and change to black
4. Click on Background color and make sure it is either gray or white
5. Click on "Always use my colors..." and then OK
6. The document will change to a white background and black text so that you can print. (usually)
7. Let's try it with this page.

1. If you'd like to copy text from a Netscape page to a document (e.g. Word/Works/etc.)
2. Click and drag over the text you want on the Netscape screen. Basically, click and hold down on the left mouse button at the top left corner of the text you want to select and drag to the right and/or down until all the text you want is "highlighted" in black.  (i.e. like this)
3. Once the text is highlighted, click on Edit and then on Copy on the toolbar
4. For this demo - we'll minimize Netscape by clicking on the _  symbol on the upper right of the screen and then double click on the Microsoft Word icon to open that program.
5. When Microsoft Word opens, it will automatically open a new document, to paste the text you just copied - click on Edit and then on Paste and the text you copied will appear.
6. Note: You might have to reformat the text a bit, the computer isn't always good enough to bring the formatting along with the text.

  Let's try it with the text below:
