Hi Phil, The general way to import bookmarks from any browser into any other browser is to use the File menu option to Export your bookmarks from the first browser, copy the file over (if you're importing into a browser that's on another computer), and then to use the File menu option of the second browser to import.
In the case of Internet Explorer, I would rename the file extension from ".htm" to ".html" before importing into any other browser (not just Safari), since ".htm" is specific to Internet Explorer. If you want to read more details about using bookmarks and the way they are organized in Safari, you can read one of my archived posts from this list: • Re: importing favorites from ie to safari http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg60672.html You can generally find answers to topics in the Mail Archives. For example, I didn't remember which posts I had written on this subject, but I was sure I had written on this topic, so I went to the search text box of the macvisionaries mail archive page, and typed in: "from:Esther importing favorites" (without the quotation marks), and pressed return. Then, on the page of search results, which tells you the number of matches, gives you the links with the subject titles, date, short excerpt of post containing your search terms, and the author of the post, I just activated the first link and checked the content. You can also search the mac-access list posts on the Mail Archive, since you're also a member of that list. And one of the items that was discussed on the mac-access list that was not discussed on this list is SafariSort -- which is a free application that lets you alphabetically organize your bookmarks that you can find at the Macupdate site. HTH.
