  Intro

If an Office 97 file has a link or URL, you can open the corresponding Web page without leaving your Office program window or opening your Web browser. Microsoft's programmers have designed each Office program to access the Web on its own. Using the Web toolbar, you can navigate pages, perform a search, and follow links. You can type the URLs for pages you want to view, or follow links from page to page.
  Step 1:  Follow a Link

If you're currently viewing a document that has a link you want to follow, click the link.
  Step 2:  Log On

A Dial Up Connection dialog box appears for you to log on to your Internet account. Click Connect.
  Step 3:  Document Displayed

After you have established your connection, your Office program window displays the Web page.
  Step 4:  Display the Web Toolbar

Right-click a toolbar area and select Web (or open the View menu and choose Toolbars, Web).
  Step 5:  Navigate Pages

You can use the Web toolbar to navigate the Web from within the program window. Use the Back and Forward buttons to view pages you have loaded. You can enter new URLs or click links to see other pages.
