Internet Explorer:
Note: Internet Explorer allows you to say the name of any link on the page to the click that link, which is something you cannot do in Netscape. However, Internet Explorer is very slow when you use it with NatSpeak, especially if you have a large Favorites folder. I do not use this capability, but instead use the Direct Grid commands described in the Moving the Mouse section (for example, "30 by 30") to click around the Web. If you to use the saving the links capability, eliminating even the standard files from the Favorites folder, will make Internet Explorer go discernibly faster. Note that you can use the "Go <Location>" voice macros with no slowdown to Internet Explorer. I use these, but keep a much larger list of bookmarks in Netscape.

Switch This (This to) Netscape    [This switches you to Netscape and opens it to the same site you were on in Internet Explorer. The command "Put Internet Explorer" does the same from Netscape to Internet Explorer. Note that this command only works properly when both Netscape and Internet Explorer are already active -- either in a window or minimized.]

*Add Location To    Internet (Internet Explorer)\Netscape    [This allows you to add a location to the "Go <Location> list in the either Internet Explorer or Netscape.]
*Add Location    [This is a shorter version of the above "Add Location To Netscape" command. Note that the "Add Location" command adds a location to the Netscape version of the Go list. This allows you to avoid version problems if you switch back and forth between browsers. If you use Internet Explorer only, make sure to use the "Add Location to Internet" macro to add a location directly to the IE version.]
*Show Locations    [This shows the list of locations.]
*Show Locations Window (Bigger) (Bigger Window)    [This shows the list of locations in WordPad. Note that under WordPad, the macro window with a list of locations will also be open, so when you're done with them you have to close both.]

Go    <BookmarksFiles>

Bookmarks Files:
Bookmarks/TRN/Media    [If you want to use multiple bookmark files, you will need to add them to the <Bookmarks Files> list, and you'll probably want to delete TRN and Media. "Bookmarks" goes to your home page.]

Save to <Program> Next
