MAXIMIZING WEB PAGE DISPLAY IN INTERNET
EXPLORER
One of the reasons I decided to drop America On
Line as my internet service provider about a year ago was
that I was annoyed with the huge amount of display space
devoted to the Menu bar, Address bar, and Toolbar in the
AOL browser. I knew that you could decrease this a lot if
I could use Internet Explorer as my web browser. Here's
how you too can do this in Internet Explorer: click on
the Tools menu, then the item Toolbars. You will see a
list of four different toolbars, each one of which can be
individually turned on or off: the Standard Buttons bar,
the Address bar, the Links bar, and the Radio bar. You
click on any of these to select whether it is displayed
or not; it is turned on if there is a check mark next to
it, or it is turned off otherwise. There is no way of not
displaying the Menu bar, but then that is certainly
desirable, for if you could disable it there would be no
way to get it or any of the other bars back!
In addition, on the Toolbars item of the View menu, there
is an item called Customize. If you click that, you get
the chance to choose which of the many available buttons
are shown in the Standard Buttons bar. You also get the
chance to make the buttons Small icons or Large icons.
And you can choose whether to display text labels below
the buttons, or no text labels, or selected text labels
on the right of some buttons.
