GETTING STARTED
Bookmark bar
The Bookmark bar organizes your bookmarks. Each icon on the Bookmark bar (running down the left edge of the Notes window) can open a bookmark or a list of bookmarks, including your favorite Web browser bookmarks.
Note You can reposition an icon on the Bookmark bar by clicking on the icon and then dragging it where you want.
Bookmark folders
Bookmark folders can contain bookmarks or more folders. The following Bookmark folders appear by default on the Bookmark bar when you first open Notes:
Favorite Bookmarks The Favorite Bookmarks folder gives you a place to store your favorite or most often-used bookmarks.
Databases If you upgrade from an earlier release of Notes that did not have bookmarks, Notes automatically puts copies of all your workspace icons into the Databases folder. The workspace pages appear as folders, and the workspace icons appear as bookmarks inside those folders.
Tip You can still access the workspace by clicking the icon at the top of the Databases folder.
More Bookmarks The More Bookmarks folder contains a Lotus Links folder, the Internet Search Sites folder, and a Create folder. The Lotus Links folder contains bookmarks to Lotus Web sites, such as the Lotus Developer Domain. The Internet Search Sites folder contains bookmarks to web sites that you can perform searches on, such as Lycos. The Create folder contains bookmarks to documents that you frequently use in Notes. By default, there is a bookmark to create a new Memo, a new Calendar entry, a new Contact for your Address Book, and a new item for your To Do list. To add more bookmarks, just drag the window tab of any new document you create to this folder.

History
The History folder keeps a chronological listing of bookmarks for all documents, views, databases, and web pages you visit during the course of a day, with the most current item at the top of the list. Dated subfolders within the History folder contain the bookmark lists from the last seven days. The History view can present items by date, by site, or by title.
Note To sort by site, choose "by Site" from the Sort drop-down menu. To sort by title, choose "by Title." To sort by date, choose "By Date."
Internet Explorer Links and Netscape Navigator Links These folders appear only if you have these browsers installed; they contain bookmarks for Internet Explorer locations, Netscape Navigator locations, or both.
Bookmark list
The Bookmark list displays the bookmarks and bookmark folders. To open the list, click a folder icon in the Bookmark bar. To keep the list open, click the pushpin icon. To close the list, click anywhere in the main Notes window or click the X icon.
Tip You can use the keyboard to locate a bookmark.
For more information, see Working with bookmarks.
Bookmark workspace
As an alternative to the default vertical list of bookmarks, you can display your bookmarks like the Workspace page (that is, icons arranged in a grid and organized by tabs). To display the bookmarks in this way, click a folder in the Bookmark bar and then click the View button at the top of the Bookmark list and choose "Display As Workspace."
Tip If the Bookmark list is displayed, double-click a folder icon inside the list to display the Bookmark workspace.
As with the Workspace page, you can arrange bookmarks by dragging and dropping them where you want. You can also drag and drop items between the tabbed folders.
On the Bookmark workspace, a single click opens a database (unlike the Workspace page where opening a database requires a double-click).
Note You can also navigate the Bookmark workspace using the keyboard. For example, the directional arrow keys move you through the bookmarks, the TAB key moves you through the file folder tabs, and the CTRL+SHIFT key sequence allows you to reposition bookmarks.
Bookmark menus
Click the Sort button at the top of the Bookmark workspace to drop down a menu that gives you the options of sorting the items by site or by title.
Click the View button at the top of the Bookmark workspace to drop down a menu that lets you change the size of bookmark icons, switch between the Bookmark list and workspace, display the unread document count for bookmarks, display bookmark server names, restore bookmark defaults, and pin open the Bookmarks window.
Click the folder icon at the top of the Bookmark workspace to create a folder.
Note When creating a folder, you must supply a folder name and select a location for the folder.
Bookmark right-click menus
Right-click any bookmark to open, copy, remove, or rename the bookmark. Bookmarks have an extensive right-click menu built into them so that you can perform many operations on a database without even opening the database.
