How do you make Safari open links in a new tab instead of in a new
window without using a keyboard shortcut? The Help file directs me to
check a box that does not exist, at least in the Windows version. So
much for Apple's reputation for attention to detail.

How do you open a new tab without clicking on a link? In Firefox I can
right click on the tab bar and select 'New Tab'. Is there something
similar in Safari?

I can only speak from Safari on the Mac side, as I don't have Safari
installed on any windows machines. On the Mac side, there are a couple
of ways to get new tabs. First, "Command-T" gives you a new tab. Have
you tried "Control-T" on your machine? Second, right-clicking on the
Tab bar gives you a new tab. Also, right clicking on a link gives you
the option to open it in a new window or a new tab.

As I said, these work on the Mac side, but I don't know if they will
on a PC.

HTH

Thanks. Those all seem to work. But I only have a Tab Bar when I have
more than one tab open. Is there a way to make it stay on all the
time?

If I'm reading a page and come across a term I'm unfamiliar with I
like to pop open another tab and look it up without leaving the page I
was originally reading. Sometimes I only have the one page open.

Mayor, again I can only guarantee this will work on a Mac running
Safari. Go to the View menu. There should be a command "Show Tab Bar".
On a Mac, the keyboard command is command-shift-T, so you might try
control-shift-T on your PC.

HTH.

Well sonofabitch. Its there. When I searched through Safari's help it
said 'No Topics Found'. Who wrote this thing? Safari's Help File is
the single most useless one I've come across yet...and that's saying a
lot.
