Page-down shortcut key
When viewing a Web page in Navigator, pressing the space bar on your keyboard acts as a Page-Down key, skipping one screen down the page from your current view.

Go to Top

New message shortcut keys
Suppose one day you're visiting a Web page when suddenly you are overcome with the urge to e-mail to your friend. "How do I avoid having to open Messenger and click File, New Message?" Press Ctrl-M. Communicator immediately opens a New Message Composition window.

Go to Top

Send a URL with shortcut keys
You see something on the Web your friend would love to read about. It can easily copy the URL of the site in question from the Location bar in Navigator to a new e-mail message to your friend. Using the mouse, highlight the entire URL and press Ctrl-C (for Copy). Then he can open a New Message Composition window (perhaps by pressing Ctrl-M for Message). Lastly, he can paste the entire URL into his new outgoing message by pressing Ctrl-V. Incidentally, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V work almost anywhere in Windows; they're common shortcut keys.

Go to Top

Copy URLs into messages
How to get a URL into an outgoing message with more functionality and even less effort?
Suppose you are viewing a Web page you would like to e-mail to a friend. Press Ctrl-M to open a new Mail Composition Window. Using your mouse, drag the Location icon (between the words Bookmarks and Location on your Location Bar) into the outgoing message. As a result, in the body of your message you will have the title of the Web page, linked by HTML to the corresponding URL. All your friend has to do is click it to go directly to the page.

Go to Top

Custom colors and visited links
Communicator allows you to specify certain text colors and have them supersede any colors specified by the page you are visiting.
You do this in the Netscape Preferences window under Appearance / Colors. Web designers almost always specify text colors within the HTML code of a page in an effort to match a certain motif or color scheme for the design of the page, or to ensure that text is readable against a background image.

Because you set up a custom color scheme of your own in Communicator rather than let the page you are visiting decide the text colors, you've forced Netscape to always show links (visited or nonvisited) as a specific color. Therefore, anything you've specified for the link history is overridden.

It's an either-or situation. You'll have to choose whether you would prefer to use your color scheme or benefit from the Visited Link History feature. To stop using a custom text color scheme, click Edit / Preferences. Select Colors under the Appearance preferences. Uncheck Always Use My Colors, Overriding Document. Click OK to save your changes.

Go to Top

Home pages
To specify your newly created page as the Communicator home page, click Edit, Preferences. Select Navigator on the left side of the Preferences window. On the right, under Navigator Starts with, Choose Home Page. Under Home Page, click Browse and locate the page you've created. Click Open to specify it, and then click OK to save your changes.
Test your efforts by clicking the Home Page button on your toolbar; click Go, Home; or close and restart Communicator.
The Home icon refers to the webpage that is loaded automatically when you start Netscape. To change the Home page, select Edit then Preferences. Once in Preferences you will see a field called Navigator starts with. You can either select Blank page, which doesn’t display a page when Netscape starts; Home page, which will allow you to choose the page you want; and Last page visited, which will do as it says, display the last page you viewed the last time you used Netscape. In the Home page field, you can either enter the address of the website you’d like; select Use Current Page, which will set the page that is currently being displayed; or select Browse, which will allow you to find a webpage on your computer that you’d like to display.

For a third option for the home page that opens when you start Netscape. Create a simple Web page using Composer, save it to the hard drive, then instead of having to download the page or stare at a blank gray screen, you can fill it with a page of your choice--and change it as often as you want.

Netscape 6

Netscape 6 does not necessarily fix any problems with 4.7x. Version 6 is an entirely new browser, built from the ground up, which is still in the beta testing stage.

Netscape has released version 6 of its Internet browsing suite. It is important to remember that version 6 is not necessarily an upgrade from version 4.7x. From now on, any upgrades to 4.7x will be bug fixes and security updates only. Scores of bug reports about version 6 have already appeared, a situation that probably will continue throughout much of this year.

Add an address book
Netscape Messenger allows you to add and organize as many separate directories (or collections of addresses) as you require. To work with your address book, start Netscape and click Communicator, Address Book (or press Ctrl-Shift-2). Adding a new directory is easy; simply click File, New Address Book. Give your new directory a name and click OK.

Unless your Address Book window is configured for this feature, you probably can't see the list of directories. There should be a thin button on the left edge of the Address Book window. Click and drag this button to the right to split the window into two panes. The left pane is the directory list, where you can choose which directory you wish to work with. On the right appears the list of entries (or cards) in the directory.

Go to Top

Too many address books
Many users organize their addresses into directories according to labels such as "work-related" or "family." However, eventually you may need to delete a whole directory from your collection. First, double-check to make sure there are no entries in the directory you may need later. Once they're gone, you can't retrieve them. After you've checked, right-click the directory in question (in the left pane of the Address Book window) and select Delete. Bear in mind, Netscape will not let you delete all of your address book directories--it claims, "You must have at least one address book."

There's no place like home
Netscape provides an archive of previous versions of Communicator at:
http://home.netscape.com/download/archive/client_archive47x.html

Create a mailing list
Like many e-mail clients, Netscape Messenger allows you to create mailing lists. These lists can consist of entries in your address book, other e-mail addresses, or even the contents of other mailing lists. You can later use Messenger to send a single message to all members of a mailing list without having to enter each e-mail address by hand.

To create a new mailing list, start Communicator and open your Address Book (click Communicator, Address Book, or press Ctrl-Shift-2). In the Address Book window, click File, New List. In the New List window, give your list a descriptive name, and then a nickname. The nickname will be how you specify to Netscape that you wish to send a message to the members of that list. Click OK to save your new list. It will appear in your list of address book entries with a different icon indicating that it is a list rather than a single entry. Our next few tips will have more on working with mailing lists in Communicator.

Go to Top

Add entries to a mailing list
To add entries to it, open your address book by clicking Communicator, Address Book, or pressing Ctrl-Shift-2. Double-click the mailing list you've created.

Now simply type the nicknames into the mailing list box. Each address should be on its own line. Netscape will replace each nickname with the actual address as you type.

If you type an address for which you do not already have an address book entry, Netscape will create one and you can fill in the other information later. If you have multiple lists, you can include the contents of one list in another list. Simply type the nickname you've specified for that list; Netscape will take care of the rest.

To remove an entry, simply select it and click the Remove button. When you've finished adding to your list, click OK to save your changes.

Send a message with a mailing list
If the list does not contain many entries, you can start a new message from the Address Book window. Click Communicator, Address Book. Right-click your mailing list and click New Message. Netscape will open a message composition window and enter all the members of your list as recipients.

The drawback to this method is that every person to whom you send the message will have a lengthy recipient list at the top of the message, but you can circumvent this problem. Close the Address Book window and press Ctrl-M to start a new message. In the message composition window, click File, Select Addresses; this will present you with the contents of your address book and the sending options. Locate your mailing list, single-click it, and click the BCC button. This will cause Netscape to send your message to each member of the list as a blind carbon copy. This way, none of the recipients will know who else received a copy. Click OK, and compose your message as you normally would.

Privacy and Netscape
How do you alter the Netscape browser to reveal less information about the user when downloading files from Web sites?

There are ways to reduce the amount of information a Web site can gather about you when you browse the Internet. First, you can set Communicator to notify you when a Web site tries to set a cookie (bits of information a Web site stores on your machine so it can identify you later). Click Edit, Preferences. Select Advanced on the left side of the Preferences window. Make sure there is a check in the box next to Warn Me Before Accepting A Cookie. Netscape will notify you of every cookie.

The problem here is that many sites set multiple cookies. You will be asked to confirm each and every one of them. This can get annoying after a while, especially if you regularly visit the same sites. A small program called CookiePal can help you take care of this problem.
However, note that cookies amount to very little information and are mainly used for statistical analysis and to log hits to a Web site. To get CookiePal, go to:
http://www.kburra.com

Another way to increase your privacy is to disable JavaScript for mail and news. Using JavaScript, a Web site can obtain your name and e-mail address from your Netscape preferences. To disable it, click Edit, Preferences and select Advanced. Uncheck the box next to Enable JavaScript For Mail And News. Click OK to save your changes. Beyond these two options, your best defense is to be careful about what information you provide when filling out forms online. Some Web pages ask for your e-mail address and personal information so they can send you junk mail. Make sure to read all the fine print before clicking Submit.

Pop into netscape.com mail
Can I set up a Messenger profile to download my messages from my e-mail account with Netscape.com?
I have an e-mail account from my local ISP, which downloads into Messenger, and I would like to do the same for my e-mail account with Netscape.com. Is this possible?"

Unfortunately not. Part of the deal with having a Web-based mail account with Netscape.com or Hotmail or Yahoo mail is that you can access your mail only from the Web site. The trade off is that they provide you with a free mail account and you provide them with demographic information or an e-mail address for mass mailings. Or you might occasionally have to look at a few ads on the screen while you're e-mailing.

General protection faults and Netscape
Most of the time these crashes require a restart of at least Communicator, if not the whole computer. Unfortunately, these problems have no easy solution. Everyone's computer is configured differently, and no application is foolproof across so many different platforms.

First and foremost, pay attention to what your computer is doing while you browse the Internet. If you experience sluggishness or outright system halts, you may be running too many applications at once. Even with processors of 500MHz and up and system memory greater than 128MB, processing power is still finite. Try closing a few less important programs before you start Communicator. Also, if your browser consistently crashes when you visit a particular site, contact the site's administrator and describe your problem. The site might have a bug in its Web page and you may not be the only victim, or the Webmaster might have some insight into your situation.

If you know for certain that an older version of Communicator worked better for you than whatever version you now use, you can revert to the older one. Netscape provides an archive of previous versions of Navigator and Communicator at:

http://home.netscape.com/download/archive/client_archive47x.html

Mail notifier and multiple profiles
How does the Netscape Mail Notifier work when there are multiple profiles for different users on the PC?"
Netscape Mail Notifier checks only the server specified in the active profile, meaning that whatever profile you have loaded into Netscape is the one for which it checks mail. It cannot check mail for all users simultaneously. Third-party shareware applications can do this for you, however. For a list of these applications, browse to:

http://winfiles.cnet.com/apps/98/mail-notify.html

Go to Top

Updated bookmarks
If the bookmarked site has not changed since you last visited it, Netscape will do nothing. Otherwise, Netscape will mark your bookmarks one of two ways. If the site has changed since your last visit, Netscape marks the bookmark with a light-blue slash through the existing green slash. If Netscape could not reach the server for whatever reason, it indicates this by putting a small question mark next to the green slash.

Go to Top

Export to save address books
There is another way to save your address books to removable media for backup purposes. You can export the information and save it to a file on a floppy, Zip, Jaz, or CD-RW. Open your address book by clicking Communicator, Address Book (or by pressing Ctrl-Shift-2). To export, click File, Export. Netscape will prompt you for a filename and location for the exported file. The file type is less important in this case; an LDIF file will most likely serve your purpose, and since it is Netscape's default it will be most easily recognizable later. Enter the appropriate information and select a location such as your floppy drive or whatever removable media you may have. Click OK.

Later, if you want to move your bookmarks to another computer, or to recover from a loss of data, simply import back into Netscape. In the Address Book window, click File, Import. Netscape will present you with a list of possible file types to be imported. Select LDIF (if that is what you chose to export to) and click Next. Locate the LDIF file on whatever media you saved it to and double-click it. Netscape will import the information into the current address book.

Multiple e-mail addresses
"I have three mailboxes on my ISP's server. I check two of them every day by clicking Edit, Preferences, and changing the address. Is there a better way?"
In Communicator 4.7x, this is done with separate profiles, each with its own respective e-mail address. Locate the User Profile Manager in your Start Menu and use it to create a new profile for Netscape. Simply click New and follow the instructions in the Creating A New Profile wizard.

Spoofed dates explained
"Normally the reason you'd get an e-mail dated 12/31/1969 (the earliest date a PC
will recognize) is that the mail is automailed from a misconfigured server. This happens to more than just spam. Usually, the server is sending a date in a format your own PC doesn't recognize, so your PC assumes the message is too old to recognize and backdates it as far as possible. If your PC were old enough (nine to ten years or more), you'd probably see all those messages dated 1/1/80. This can be, but isn't necessarily, the result of an adjustment to prevent a Y2K problem. Sometimes it's just a bad script at the server side."

Filter out spoofed dates
Solution to the nuisance of messages with spoofed or otherwise incorrect e-mail messages, uses message filters to delete messages with incorrect dates.

To do this, in Messenger, click Edit, Message Filters. Click the New button to begin creating a new filter. Give this particular filter a descriptive name and set the contents of the drop-down boxes to Date, Is After, today's date, and Delete. (The sentence should read "The Date Of The Message Is After [today's date] Then Delete.") Click OK to save this new filter. Whenever Communicator downloads a message from the server that fits those criteria, the message will be deleted automatically and sent to your Trash folder as a precautionary measure. You then have the option of deleting it permanently by clicking File, Empty Trash On Local Mail.

Attachments and disk space
Netscape Mail & News Preferences has a setting that prevents storage of large e-mail messages on your computer. It also has the (undocumented) ability to prevent large messages from downloading at all.

You can change the setting by clicking Edit, Preferences. Expand the Mail & News Preferences and select Disk Space. Place a check in the box next to Do Not Store Messages Locally That Are More Than [blank] KB. In the box, specify your preferred file size. This would usually be whatever size you consider too big to be worth the download time.
Netscape will download the message up to that size and present it to you as a normal message with an indication that it did not fully download. Should you decide you want the attachment after all, you can then click a link that causes Netscape to download the rest of the message and its attachment. This may be the solution most users are looking for. Our next tip presents another.

Large attachments and web mail
A good ISP will have a program on its mail server that allows Web access to any e-mail account (with the correct password) that exists on the server. This Web mail interface is usually fairly intuitive and operates much like most free Web e-mail services, such as Hotmail and Yahoo Mail. Contact your ISP for information on whether it offers this service, which is meant as a tool for accessing one's mail from any computer with Web access. For example, if you are visiting friends or relatives out of town, you can access your mail while you're there. All you need is a computer with Internet access and a Web browser.

If you check your mail and Messenger takes an inexplicably long time to download a single message, it's likely caused by a large attachment that must download as well. Click Cancel to make Messenger stop the download. Now use your browser to log in to your account with Web mail. (Contact your ISP for information on how to do this.) Most Web mail interfaces indicate the size of a message in the list of existing messages. One will be much larger than the others. That is your culprit. If you can see from the subject or sender that it's not worth the time to download, use the Web mail interface to delete it right off the server. Log out of your Web mail and use Messenger again to download your mail without the offending message or attachment.

If your ISP doesn't offer a Web mail interface, suggest that it implement one. It really can be handy.

Export and import bookmarks
"How do I transfer Communicator Bookmarks to another file so I can use them with a different browser?"

If you are speaking of Microsoft Internet Explorer, have no fear. MicroSoft Internet Explorer can import bookmarks into its Favorites file--just click File, Import and Export. Follow the instructions to import links and settings from other browsers. To export Netscape bookmarks into a form usable by almost any HTML browser, in Netscape click Bookmarks, Edit Bookmarks.
In the Edit Bookmarks window, click File, Save As. Choose a location for the Bookmarks file and give it a name. Netscape will export your list of Bookmarks to a single HTML file viewable in any Web browser.

Netscape Imports IE Favorites
If you've been using Microsoft Internet Explorer and you decide to migrate to Navigator 6, you won't lose all your IE Favorites. Netscape will import them as Bookmarks. To distribute your IE Favorites in the Bookmarks folder, click Manage Bookmarks and drag the saved sites to their new folders. IE will also import Netscape Bookmarks as IE Favorites.

Downloading Files In Netscape
You need to make sure that the file will fit on a single floppy disk. Any file smaller than about 1.3MB should fit provided you insert a completely blank formatted floppy disk.

With the disk in place, click the download URL as usual. When the Save As dialog box opens, select the floppy Drive A and click Save. Don't forget that you'll have to change back to your hard disk folder for your next download. Netscape always attempts to save to the last selected folder.

A Netscape Easter Egg
Have you ever gone on a software Easter egg hunt? An Easter egg in software is some text or graphics placed in an application by the programmers. Here's one that you can view in Netscape 4.08 (perhaps in other version as well, but we're running 4.08). Click in the Location entry box (the address bar) and type "about:Mozilla" then press Enter.

Go to Top

Search A Page In Netscape
Suppose you just searched the Internet and there you are on the site recommended by the search engine. But, where is the information you want? It's there somewhere. To locate your information in that long Web page, go to the top of the page and then press Ctrl + F. Now, type a keyword into the "Find what" entry box and press Enter.

Go to Top

Viewing Cache Files
To look at your Netscape Navigator cache file, click in the Address bar and type "about:cache" and press Enter. This opens an HTML page that displays all the current cache file statistics. If you enter "about:cache" into the Mozilla Address bar, you'll get information concerning your memory and disk cache files. You can click "List Cache Entries" to view separate entries in both the memory and disk cache files.

Go to Top

Multiple Windows In Netscape
Suppose you're working with a page on the Internet and you'd like to leave that page intact and navigate to a new page. This is no problem at all with Netscape Navigator. All you have to do is choose File|New Window (or press Ctrl + N). Now you can go wherever you want in the second window without disturbing your original window at all.

Go to Top

Navigating In Netscape
When you type an address into the Netscape address bar, you don't actually have to type in the entire address. For example, of you want to go to http://www.wagner.edu, you could type in
wagner
and press Enter. If the address you want to navigate to needs some characters after the ".edu" ending you'll have to type them in too. As an example, if you want to go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp, you'd have to type

microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp
and press Enter. However for getting to a main site fast, it's a great feature.

Go to Top

Changing Home In Netscape
By default, the Netscape Home button takes you to Netscape's home page. However, if you would prefer to use some other home page, navigate to the page you want to use and choose Edit|Preferences. When the Preferences dialog box opens, under Category, click Navigator. Click Use Current Page, and then click OK to close the dialog box and record your new preference. Netscape will now start with your newly selected home page.

Changing Your Home Page In Netscape 6
Run Netscape and choose Edit|Preferences. When the Preferences dialog box opens, look under "Category" and select Navigator. In the Right pane, you'll see Home Page and an entry box labeled "Location." Type in the complete address of your new home page (http etc., etc.) and click OK.

Go to Top

Netscape Browsing With Hot Keys
The Netscape keyboard shortcuts are mostly Windows standard, which means that you can press Ctrl + N to open a new window, or press Ctrl + P to print. You can also hold down the Alt key and then press the right arrow to move forward and the left arrow to move back (the same function as the right and left arrows in the toolbar).

And, just like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Ctrl + F will open a Find Text dialog box and Ctrl + H will open your History folder.

Go to Top

Font size manipulation on Netscape
When viewing a Web page in Navigator, pressing the ‘Ctrl & ]’ key will increase the font size and pressing the ‘Ctrl & [‘ key will decrease the font size.

Go to Top

Translate A Netscape Web Page
Suppose you run across an interesting Web page -- and it's in German. And you don't know a word of German. Just choose View|Translate. Netscape will now take you to the Gist-In-Time Web translation service where you can request a translation from German to English. You'll have to wait a few minutes for the translation, but not as long as it would take to try to figure out what you want to download in a language you don't know.

Go to Top

Add Your Personal Toolbar In Netscape
If you use Netscape, there is a very easy way to create your favorite URLs in the Personal Toolbar. All you have to do is go to the site you want to add to the toolbar and then use the mouse to drag the icon just to the left of "Location" down to the Personal Toolbar.

If you're using Netscape 6, you drag the small icon just to the left of the http address.

Go to Top

Fill In Forms Automatically With Netscape
Seems like we're always filling in forms. There are some third-party products that will fill in forms for you but, if you use Netscape 6.0, all you need is the Netscape Form Manager. This tool automatically collects the data you enter in Web form fields. It uses those data to fill in forms on other pages. To get started choose Tasks|Privacy And Security|Forms Manager|Interview.

Copying Bookmarks From Netscape To Microsoft Internet Explorer 5+
If you've been using Netscape and now want to use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or greater, you probably would like to copy your bookmarks to the IE 5 Favorites folder. You can't just copy them to the folder and expect them to work, though. What you need to do is get Microsoft Internet Explorer to import those bookmark files for you.

To do this, run IE and choose File|Import and Export. Now just follow the wizard and you'll have access to all those bookmarks in IE 5.

Go to Top

The Netscape Right-Click Menu
Everyone has a different right-click menu it seems. If you're a Microsoft Internet Explorer user who just switched to Netscape 6.0, here are a few differences. When you right-click in Netscape, the pop-up menu allows you to move backward and forward, save a page as wallpaper, add a bookmark, create a shortcut, and access your Prefill Form information.

Back And Forward Buttons In Netscape Navigator
As you know, you can move to the previous page in Netscape by simply clicking the Back button. Once you've moved back in Netscape, you can click the Forward button to move forward to the next page.

If you would like to move back more than one page, click the Back button and then hold down the mouse button. After a second or so, a list of the pages you've visited will appear. Now you can select one of those previous sites to move there. The Forward button works the same way.
By right-clicking the back or forward buttons you will be able to go back or forward to the exact page you’d like to view without continuously selecting either button.

Check Out Your Cookies In Netscape 6
When you surf the Web using Netscape, it records where you go in the History folder. But this isn't the only place where your surfing habits are recorded -- most Web sites tend to leave cookies on your computer.

If you'd like to view those cookies in Netscape 6, choose Tasks|Privacy and Security|Cookie Manager|View Stored Cookies. The Cookie Manager dialog will display all the cookies currently in residence on your computer.

What is a bookmark and how do I create one?
A web bookmark is similar to that of an actual bookmark, in that it saves a page to be viewed at a later time. Bookmarks in actuality are links to the pages you wish to save. To add a bookmark, select Communicator then Bookmarks followed by Add Bookmark. This can also be done by pressing CTRL-D on your keyboard.

Edit or organize bookmarks after created them
Yes, by selecting Communicator then Bookmarks and Edit Bookmarks you can do this.

Go to Top

Access bookmarks
To access bookmarks you can either select the Bookmark menu on the Navigation Bar or you can select Communicator then Bookmarks. In either place you will be able to select one of your bookmarks to be viewed.

What is the Cache?
The cache is where Netscape stores the webpages that it displays. For instance, if you visit www.wagner.edu, Netscape will save all of the images and webpages that you view. This is done in order to speed up the display of that webpage once it is viewed again. The problem with the Cache is that it often takes up a lot of hard-drive space if it isn’t cleared regularly.

How do I clear the Cache?
To clear the Cache, select Edit and Preferences. In Preferences look in the Category window and select the plus sign (+) next to Advanced. You will then see Cache, select it and the Cache preferences will be displayed next to it. We recommend that you select both the Clear Memory Cache and Clear Disk Cache buttons to free all of the hard-drive space being maintained by Netscape.

Go to Top

What is the Reload button?
The Reload button is used for re-loading a webpage in order to get the newest version off of the Internet or Intranet. Often times, websites are updated so regularly that Netscape can’t tell if it has the newest version or not. By either selecting the Reload icon on the Navigation bar or View followed by Reload, you can Reload the page.
