Adding Shortcuts To The Bookmark Bar
IBM Business Partner Rob Novak wrote to me about an excellent tip, one of those things that I've used for so long that I tend to forget not everyone knows about it! That is one of the reasons I love blogging, to share just this type of information. On to it...
Do you know that you can place shortcuts to programs or documents on the Lotus Notes Bookmark bar?
For example, if you have a document on your Windows Desktop or in your My Documents folder (say that presentation you are working on for the boss), drag it from your desktop onto the Lotus Notes Bookmark bar and it will be easily available for you to access without ever leaving Lotus Notes.
I use the Windows calculator several times a day. Rather than having to find it each time, I can simply drag and drop its shortcut onto the Lotus Notes Bookmark bar. To do this I click on the Windows Start button - Programs - Windows - click on the Calculator shortcut and without letting go of the mouse button, drag it onto the Lotus Notes bookmark bar, then release the mouse button (drop).
Now Calculator is available to me right inside Lotus Notes any time I want to use it.
Go ahead, make your work environment easier to use... add some shortcuts to your Lotus Notes Bookmark bar!
