Description:
Netscape Communicator 4.5, the latest version of Netscape Communications' top software suite, includes all the programs you need to use the Internet. You can surf the Web with Netscape Navigator, send and receive electronic mail with Netscape Messenger, build your own Web pages with Netscape Composer, and carry on conversations with the help of AOL Instant Messenger. Netscape Communicator 4.5 for Dummies does a fine job of helping novice Internet users use these Netscape products effectively and enjoyably. Appropriately, Netscape Communicator 4.5 for Dummies focuses on the two most popular components of the Communicator suite: Navigator and Messenger. It also shows users how to perform all sorts of tasks (including file downloads and bookmark management) with Navigator before illustrating how to set up and use Messenger for e-mail. After explaining how the programs work, the author proceeds to show you some of the fun things you can do with the Communicator Suite. There are annotated lists of search tools, entertainment sites, Web stores, and technical-support resources to help you get the most out of your newfound connectivity. A word of warning: the text and illustrations in this book focus on Communicator as it appears under Windows 98 and other modern Microsoft operating systems. Users of other environments--like, say, Mac OS 8.5--will benefit from Netscape Communicator 4.5 for Dummies but won't get as much from it as they would from a more comprehensive book. --David Wall
