1 Following the Reopen All Windows From Last Session item, Safari will provide the last 20 history items (or bookmarks
from the last 20 web pages stored in its history), followed by submenus containing your browser history over
the last week.

3 Following the Bring All To Front item, each open window will be listed.
NOTE Most of the Edit commands only work on editable regions of a web page (forms and
text fields). If these items are not available, they will be grayed out.
NOTE The clipboard (more appropriately called the pasteboard) is a special place in memory
where cut and copied items are temporarily stored so that they can be reused (pasted) elsewhere.
By default, this clipboard only holds one item at a time—each new cut or copy will
overwrite the old item.
That covers the basics of the interface, including the menu items. Now we’ll take a closer
look at how to perform certain tasks in Safari.
Setting Your Home Page
CHAPTER 10 BROWSING THE WEB WITH SAFARI 179
Your Home page is the default web page that Safari will go to when it is initially launched. Out
of the box, this is set for the Apple Start page (www.apple.com/startpage/), which provides Apple
news and links to other Apple products and features. If, however, you’d like to open a different
page (or no page) when you start Safari, then open the Safari preferences, click the General button
(Figure 10-3), and set a few options:
New windows open with: This drop-down list allows you to select if new windows open
with the home page, an empty page, the same page (i.e., the page that was last opened in
Safari), or in Bookmarks view.
Home page: This text field allows you to enter the URL of any web page that you’d like to
use as your home page.
Set to Current Page: Clicking this button will automatically enter the URL of you current
web page into the “Home page” text field.
