Use the Web Toolbar to Navigate Your Intranet

Web Toolbar button

After you click different hyperlinks, the easiest way to navigate among the files is to use the Web toolbar. In Microsoft Excel, Word, or PowerPoint, if the Web toolbar isn’t already visible, click the Web Toolbar button. In Microsoft Access, click Toolbars (View menu), and then click Web. If you already know the file location, type it or select it from the Address box. If you don’t know the location, click the Search the Web Page button to search for it. After you open a file, use the Back and Forward buttons to move quickly between files.

If you have certain files that you want to open on a regular basis, you can add them to your Favorites folder by clicking the Favorites button and then clicking Add to Favorites.

To make it easier to see more of the file that you’ve just opened, you can click the Show Only Web Toolbar button, which hides the other application toolbars.

Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 to View Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint Files

If you use Internet Explorer 3.0 to browse the Internet and then switch to viewing files on your corporate intranet, your Microsoft Excel, Word, or PowerPoint file opens in the browser just as if it were an HTML file. You can navigate between these files and files on the Internet with no loss of browsing or navigational capabilities. More important, when you’re working in a Microsoft Excel, Word, or PowerPoint file, you can access the default toolbars in that application.
