Answer 1

back arrow

Answer 2

four ways

click the back button on your browser

press the backspace key on your keyboard

press alt+left arrow

hold down the ctrl key and scroll the center wheel on your mouse backwards

a great trick is to hold down the SHIFT key and click on a link to open it in another Internet Explorer browser window. this way i don't lose my place on the first page. to get rid of the new window when you are thru click on the red x in the upper-right corner of your screen and you can go back to reading the first page in the original window

◙◙ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ◙◙

◙ You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first got on the Web. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. Get the one that is 9 books in one. it has the most info. Don't read this book from cover-to-cover. Instead use it as a reference book.

◙ This book will teach you how to do many many things with your computer. Some of them are copy, paste, delete, highlighting text, making a file, saving a file and the list goes on and on. Getting on the web before you learn the basics of your computer is like trying to be a race car driver before you learn how to drive.

◙ Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. :)

If there isn't an arrow there go to the tool bar, right click, click on customize. On the available buttons choose the left pointing arrow (back) add it then choose the right facing arrow (forward) and add it.

At the top of the screen (it's in the upper left, 2nd layer on my screen) is a "Back" button with an arrow pointing to the left. If you click on that it will take you to the previous screen. Good luck.
