• Create a Bookmark
• Bookmark Window
• How to Open the Bookmark Window
• How to Organize Using the Bookmark Window

If you want to save the location of a favorite page or if you want to visit certain pages often, you'll want to create bookmarks for those pages. Bookmarks are saved on the Bookmark list until you decide to delete them.

Bookmarks and bookmark folders are arranged like folders and files on your hard drive. The easiest way to access bookmarks is by using the Bookmarks menu.

• On Windows systems, hold down the Bookmarks button on the Location toolbar to view the list of bookmarks.
• On the Mac, select Bookmarks from the Navigator menu bar to see the list of bookmarks.

1. Go to the page you want to bookmark (for example, www.nasa.gov). You can bookmark a page for which you typed the URL into the Location field, or you can bookmark a page you visited by clicking a link.
2. Hold down the Bookmarks button on the location toolbar and select Add Bookmark to add a bookmark for the current page to the bottom of the Bookmarks menu.



(Win: Press Ctrl+D, Mac: Command+D) to add a bookmark instantly. Open the Bookmarks menu and you'll see your bookmark filed at the bottom of the list.

1. Add new bookmarks
2. Rename them
3. File them into folders
4. Delete them

When you use the Bookmarks window to organize your bookmarks, Netscape Navigator updates the Bookmarks menu automatically.

1. Windows: Click the Bookmarks button to pop open the Bookmarks menu, and select Edit Bookmarks or press Ctrl+B.



2. Mac: From the Communicator menu bar, select Bookmarks, Edit Bookmarks or press Command+B.

The Bookmarks window will appear, where you'll see all your bookmarks displayed

1. To create a new folder for bookmarks, select File, New Folder from the Bookmarks menu bar.



1. New Folder window appears
2. Type a name for your folder (such as "Pets" or "Research") in the Name text box
3. click OK


2. To move a bookmark into a folder
1. Click on it
2. Drag it onto the folder where you want to store it


3. To rename a bookmark
1. Click the bookmark to select it
2. From the Bookmarks window menu bar
1. Win: Select Edit, Bookmark Properties
2. Mac: Edit, Get Info

4. Type a new name for the Bookmark in the Name text box


4. To delete a bookmark
   1. click the bookmark icon on the list
   2. Press the Backspace (Delete) key on your keyboard

1. Tip: Windows and Unix versions of Navigator have a Bookmarks QuickFile option you can use to add a bookmark and file it at the same time. With the page you want to bookmark open in the Navigator window, drag the page proxy icon (next to the Location field) onto the Bookmarks folder button, and then into a folder. When you release the mouse button, Navigator will add the bookmark in the folder you specified. Neat, huh?
2. Tip: Bookmarks you store in the Personal Toolbar Folder will show up on your Personal Toolbar. You can move a bookmark into this folder in the Bookmarks window, or you can
3. simply drag the page proxy icon - it looks like a little bookmark, and it's next to the Location field - onto the Personal Toolbar.
