Web Slices
How many times a day do you check for updates to e-mail, weather reports, sports scores, stock quotes, auction items e mail and so on? Until now this was a manual process, where you had to repeatedly visit sites to check for updates or new information.

Using Web Slices, you can keep up with frequently updated sites directly from the new Favorites Bar. If a Web Slice is available on a page, a green Web Slices icon will appear in the Command Bar. Click on this icon to easily subscribe and add the Web Slices to the Favorites Bar so you can keep track of that "slice" of the web.



Now, you might want to visit the Add-ons Gallery to add some web slices from Microsoft.

When a Web Slice is available on a webpage, you'll see the Web Slice button change color on the Command bar.

You will also see a Web Slice icon appear on the webpage next to the content that you can add to your Favorites bar.

To subscribe to a Web Slice and add it to the Favorites bar, follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Go to the page with a Web Slice you want to add to the Favorites bar.
3. Do one of the following:
o Click the Web Slice button on the Command bar.
o Click the Web Slice icon on the page.
After you subscribe to a Web Slice, you will see it appear on the left side of the Favorites bar.
To preview the updated Web Slice content without leaving the website you're currently viewing, click the Web Slice link on the Favorites bar. This will open a rich preview of the webpage, which you can then click to go to the website itself.
