The menu structure in Opera is the most important tool for making the browser act and behave
the way you want it. Within the menu structure, you will find settings for configuring the Opera
browser for your system; including tuning of document windows, the
toolbars, history and cache, security and privacy on the Internet, e-mail, news and bookmarks,
as well as a multitude of other features - some common in Web browsers, some unique to Opera.
The menus in Opera document references all of Opera's menus and their functions.
It should be used to look up features you are uncertain of, as well as for setting your Global and Window
home pages, saving the Opera workspace documents for later retrieval, and opening special windows such as the
cache window, the global history and the transfer window.
The Preference Menus
The preference menus are where you should go to get the most out of your
Opera. The dialog itself is accessed through the "File" menu, or by pressing ALT + P, and
navigating therein is easy enough, as long as you try not to get lost in the myriad of settings, options
and configurations that make Opera stand out from the crowd of other browsers. Almost everything in Opera
can be changed or altered by you, the user!
Dialogs in Opera
Aside from the commonly visible menus around the Opera workspace, much of the user-to-browser
communcation is presented to you in the shape of dialog boxes if necessary. The
dialogs document has explanations and useful information on these dialog boxes, so that you should
never be in doubt as to exactly what it is that Opera does when it connects to the Internet.
