## Sharing bookmarks and favorite pages

If you use both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, you can keep your favorite pages and bookmarks up-to-date by importing them from one application to another.

You can import a Navigator bookmark file at any time. After you import your Navigator bookmark file (Bookmarks.html), you can find your imported bookmarks in the Bookmarks folder in your Favorites list.

When you export your favorite pages, Internet Explorer saves them in an HTML file (Favorites.html), so both Internet Explorer and Navigator can import them.
