How to use the Internet

Scrolling Up and Down

If a web page is longer than the screen you will have to scroll up and down. There are 3 ways of doing this:

1. On the right hand side of most pages you will see a grey rectangular scroll bar under the little arrow. Click on the scroll bar with the left mouse button and drag it down towards the bottom arrow.
2. Click on the bottom arrow to move the page down and the top arrow to move the page up.
3. Use the Up/Down arrows on your keyboard.
    

Using Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks appear as highlighted text like this. Simply click on the link to open another web page.
 

Moving Back and Forward

At the top of your screen you should see a 'toolbar'. Click on the Back arrow to return to the last site visited.

After the Back arrow has been used once you can use the Forward arrow to move forward again.

Note:  If you have clicked on a lot of links you will need to click several times on the Back arrow to return to this guide.
  

Further Information

If you want to spend a little more time learning to use the Internet before you
begin, go to the TAFE Access How to Use the Internet site and work through the first of the four basic sessions. When you finish you will need to click on the Back arrow to return to this guide.
