## Opening Web Pages

When first started, the toolbars will be hidden. Tap the button in the bottom-right corner of the screen to show the toolbars.

Tap the address bar to enter or change the page address. Type in an address, and press `Return`, or tap the button to the right of the address field, to open the page. When the address bar is focused, a search field will appear that you can use to search the Web using the default search engine. When typing in the address bar, a list of matching previously visited addresses will be displayed. Tap an item in the list to open that page. The history items are also available using Menu > History. Double tap an item to open that page. Tap the "Home" button on the toolbar to load the home page. You can also use the "Bookmarks" button on the toolbar to access your list of Bookmarks. Double tap an item to open that page.

When pages are first loaded, the toolbars will hide, and the pages are displayed in overview mode. Overview mode displays the pages zoomed out a little to show more of the page. Pages in overview mode will still respond to tapping and scrolling as normal, and double tapping will zoom in and out on the area that is tapped, allowing that part of the page to be viewed more clearly.

To see information about the current page, go to Menu > View page info.

## Navigating on Web Pages

Opera for Pocket PC supports the use of touchscreen, stylus, or 5-way navigation keys (D-pad) for navigation.

### Stylus and touchscreen

Opera uses a stylus and touchscreen in the same way as most other applications for Pocket PC. Tap on buttons, menus, and text inputs to activate them. Scroll pages by tapping the page, and dragging in the direction that you want to scroll.

Opera also has a context menu that can be activated by tapping and holding your finger or stylus down over the page that is being displayed. When activated over a link, the context menu will offer additional options, such as copying the link address, opening the link in a new tab, or sending the address of the link by e-mail, SMS, or MMS. When activated over an image, the context menu will offer further options, such as saving the image, or sending the image by e-mail or MMS.

### 5-way navigation keys

Up, down, left, and right use Opera's spatial navigation to select the next link or form element in that direction. Push follows links.

### Filling in forms

When a form input is active, you can use any of the normal input methods to enter information. This includes the keyboard, keypad, IntelliPad, Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, Transcriber, or any other input method offered by your device.

### Navigating through history

You can navigate through your history using the "Back" and "Reload" buttons on the toolbars, the "Forward" item in the main menu, and the "Back" and "Reload" items in the context menu.

## Downloads

When you start downloading a file by clicking a link or submitting a form, you will be offered a choice to open or save it. If you choose to open, it will be downloaded to a temporary folder, and executed when the download is complete.

If you choose to save, you will be asked to select a download location. It will then show up in Opera's download manager. From the main Opera window, you can open the download manager by going to Menu > Transfers. Select items in the download manager, and the menus will allow you to stop the download or clear it from the downloads window. Tap the close button to return to the main Opera window.

Opera also allows you to download images from Web pages. Activate the context menu over an image, and it will offer the option to save the image. The page context menu also allows Web pages to be saved. These can then be viewed using Menu > Saved Pages. Double tap an item to open it.

Downloaded files can be accessed using the File Explorer application.

## Copy and Paste

Opera supports clipboard functionality. To copy text from a Web page, enable text selection using the "Text Selection On" item in the context menu. To copy text, select it by tapping and dragging the stylus over it. Then tap and hold to activate the context menu, and select from the available options. Select the "Text Selection Off" item in the context menu to return to normal scrolling mode.
