Screen Layout
The two major parts of the
screen are the Web page
and the toolbar.
The toolbar is located at the
bottom of the screen. It is
always there no matter what
Web page you visit. The
rest of the screen is taken
up by the Web page.
Tip
Remember to look for scroll
bars. You don't want to miss
any information on a Web
page.
Note: The images of Web
pages found throughout

available at time of

will vary.

Moving Around the Screen
Many times when you are reading a Web page, there will be
more information on a topic than can fit on the screen at one
time. When this occurs, a scroll bar, like the one in the picture
below, appears on the right side of your screen. That means
you'll need to scroll in order to see the rest of the page. What
does scroll mean? Well, if you enjoy going to the movies, you
already have a pretty good idea of what scrolling is all about.
At the end of the movie where the credits are displayed, the
list of people and organizations to be recognized is typically
far too long to fit on the screen at one time. To solve this
problem, the director makes the information scroll in front of
you, moving the viewing frame slowly downward until the last
credit can be read. With your Home Internet Appliance you
are the director, scrolling down the page at whatever speed
you choose, reading at your own pace.
Click the down arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar to move
down the Web page. Part of the page scrolls out of sight at the
top. New parts of the page scroll into view at the bottom.
Click the up arrow at the top to move up the page. The part of
the page that scrolled out of view to the top is now visible
again. You can also select the rectangular slider between the
arrows and drag it to scroll the page up and down.
