The problem with Chrome bookmarks is that you can't navigate with first letters. Fortunately, when you import IE favorites, you can use first-letter navigation so long as you first navigate over to the imported IE favorites. Still, it's an inconvenient extra step.

Now, to read through your book marks (favorites) Press the alt key and down arrow once and press the letter B. Press the right arrow to open that sub menu and then up and down arrow through your book marks. Favorites in IE are called Book marks in Firefox and Google Chrome. As you arrow through your book marks, just press enter on the one you want. You can also import all of your favorites from IE, and book marks from Firefox. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great one. David From: Adrian Spratt While in Chrome, press alt. Arrow down once. Press b for bookmarks. Right-arrow once. Now you can arrow up and down this submenu. One option is to book mark a page, which shares the same IE shortcut of control-d. Another is to import favorites/bookmarks from other browsers, including IE. Navigation through the bookmarks menu relies heavily on right arrow, along with the up and down arrows. After your IE favorites have been imported, you reach them with the same b submenu. Once you hit the IE imports option, right-arrow twice. Adrian Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

I opened that and arrowed through things and there was a button that said "import boo,marks and settings" and I opened that. Then there was a list of things you could import i.e. favorites, browsing history and a few others and you check or uncheck them. Then you hit the import button. In a couple minutes it said I was successful and that it was done. I went back to the Chrome page but there is hardly anything there, an address bar to search, it says banner and document and that's it. I don't know where this link to the favorites is or what it will say or the keystroke to bring up favorites like I did in IE. Can anyone help, please? Thanks.
