Opening Multiple Web Pages

If you've ever wanted to jump back and forth between two or more Web pages, the new tabs in Internet Explorer now make it so simple. Just open the Web pages on their own tabs, and they'll be there until you close the page.

Specify the Web Page

In Internet Explorer, click New Tab.

Start typing the address of the Web site you want. If the address is displayed in a drop-down list, click the address. If it doesn't appear, type the entire address, and then press Enter.

Tip

To search the current Web page instead of the Internet, click the Search down arrow, choose Find On This Page from the drop-down menu, and use the Find dialog box to search for the text you want.

Use a Link

Hold down the Ctrl key and click the link.

Click the newly opened tab to view it.

Try This!

In Internet Explorer, search for something on the Internet. On the Search Results page that appears, hold down the Ctrl key as you click a result. View the information. Switch back to the Search Results page, hold down the Ctrl key, and click another result. Continue opening new tabs for results and closing tabs that aren't relevant to your search.
