   Netscape Navigator is a Web browser used mainly for viewing, or browsing, Web pages on the Internet. To browse a Web page, you need to point your cursor and click on a hyperlink to display the page you wish to see in the Navigator window. Most likely, you've clicked on many hyperlinks to get to this page. If you know of a Web page you want to visit, you will have to type its location (address) or URL into Navigator's Location Bar, then press "RETURN" (or "ENTER"). Correct spelling is important!

Switching between Web pages

Whenever you browse Web pages with Navigator, it keeps track of the pages you've already viewed, and stores them until you exit Navigator. As a result, you can switch between Web pages you've already viewed, in the order you viewed them, by using the Back and Forward  buttons on the Navigator Toolbar.

 

 

 

You can also browse a list of recently-viewed Web pages, and go directly to one, by using Navigator's Go menu. Click the Go menu, then select the title of the Web page you wish to view again. See image below.

 

Viewing more than one Web page simultaneously

If you wish, you can view many Web pages at the same time. To view multiple pages simultaneously, while in Communicator, click the File menu, then click New --> Navigator. This opens a new Navigator browser window. You can now browse new Web pages, while your current Navigator window doesn't change. You may need to resize the windows to attain the best viewing environment.

 

The total number of windows you are able to view simultaneously is limited by the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory; internal memory) installed in your computer and the size of your monitor. The downside of viewing many pages at one time is that it takes longer for pages to load onto your browser.

Printing a Web page

Sometimes, you might find a Web page that contains an interesting article on your topic of interest. If you have a printer, you can print the contents of that Web page that is displayed in Navigator. To do this, click the File menu, then click Print, or simply type "APPLE"+"P." You can also click the Print button on the Navigator Toolbar.
