"01. What’s this “Open” button that I see in the upper right corner and, more importantly, where’s my Bookmark Bar?
- The “Open” button is an idea that Lotus is introducing to save some space on small screens.
- You can get the “Bookmark Bar” back by [Right Clicking] on the “Open” button and [Clicking] ”Dock the Open List”.
- You can make the icons bigger in the Bookmark Bar by [Right
Clicking] on an empty space of the Bookmark Bar and [Clicking] “Use
Large Icons”.
02. Every time I start Lotus Notes, I see this ”Getting
Started Screen”. How do I get rid of it? And where’s the usual
Corporate Welcome page?
- The “Getting Started” page is simply there to explain some parts of the new interface in Lotus Notes R8.5.1.
- You can close it by [Clicking] on the “X”.
- You can see it again by [Clicking] on the menu Help à Getting Started Page.
- The “Corporate Welcome Page” tab now says “Home” instead of “Corporate Welcome Page”.
03. Where’s my Quota information? It used to be in the bottom left of of my inbox? Where is it now?
- Lotus has moved the Mail Quota information to the top of the left side of the mail file to make some space for the “Follow-up” and “New Notices” panel.
- The Quota now appears as a green bar (or red bar if you are near your quota) next to your server name on the left top side of your mail file.
- If you put your mouse cursor over the green bar, a pop-up will appear with more information.
- If you are using your mail file on local, there is a little icon of
an enveloppe with a green bar next to your name on the left top side of
your mail file. You must [Click] that icon to see your quota

- [Click] on “Apply” and then [Click] on “OK” if you make changes to either the “Unread mail indication” or “Font size” section.
05. How can I turn off the “Instant Spell Check” when I’m writing emails? The red squiggly lines everywhere are driving me nuts!
- Lotus Notes R8.5.1 has an “instant spell check” feature (like Microsoft Word) when writing new emails, calendar entries or documents in applications.
- It can get confused if you write emails that “mix and match” languages (French and English or Spanish and English in the same email, for example).
- You can turn it off by [Clicking] on the menu File → Preferences → Spell Check and removing the checkmark in the option “Enable Instant Spell Checking”.
- If you removed the checkmark from the option “Enable Instant Spell
Checking”, [Click] on “Apply” and then [Click] on “OK” to save the
setting.

Lotus Notes R7, can I put it back at the bottom of my screen in Lotus
