Internet Explorer Drop-Down Menu Commands

To explore the Web, you need to be familiar with the basic buttons and commands.  The below list includes the commands for Microsoft Internet Explorer  6.0. Other browsers have many of the same features.

  • File - Print Preview
    Use Print Preview to see how a printed web page will look.  This feature also tells you how many pages the Web page contains, and you can limit printing to a particular page or pages.
  • File - Print
    Choose Print from the File menu to get additional print features.  This is especially useful when printing a page that uses frames.  A word of warning: you cannot tell how many pages you are printing unless you use Print Preview.

    NOTE: You will be charged $.10/page for printing at the Library. Pick up your printing at the Print Release Station.

  • File - Save As
    Use File/Save As to save the page you are viewing.  At B&ECPL, you can only save to the floppy drive or USB drive.  You will need to specify either HTML file or plain text file.
  • View - Text Size
    Click Text Size to adjust the size of the text displayed on a Web site.  This is helpful if you have trouble reading the size of the print.
