joshi - right -this site is undoubtedly the best place for help. And leocg - I didn't know what Opera "Blink" was until checking Wikipedia. I knew I had Opera 24, and that's about it! (Remember I'm a newbie here, but will try to ask reasonably intelligent questions ;-). Appreciate the good feedback and tips from you both - will stick with it and keep checking this forum! thanks-

leocg - thank you for the instructions and information. I am discouraged that Opera makes this so difficult. (And NO Print preview?? ) I will look at the tutorial for Opera 12, but is there no tutorial for Opera 24? Can you recommend the best website/web page to go to for help with Opera 24? Thank you again.

Thank you joshi - I didn't know about flags until your comment. Flags may be too advanced for me, but I also don't understand why Opera would choose to make importing bookmarks hidden. If that's the case, I'm very disappointed, especially because I really do like some of its features.

I am new to Opera, and have yet to find an Opera help file that actually matches what I see on screen. I tried to import my Firefox bookmarks to Opera 24. Opera Help (http://help.opera.com/Windows/12.10/en/importexport.html) says:
"Select Settings > Import and exportFile > Import and export."
I can get to settings. There is no "Import and export file". What am I missing?
Another Opera Help page (http://help.opera.com/Windows/12.10/en/sitepreferences.html) --- says
"To manage all site preferences, go to Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Content and select the "Manage site preferences" button." For the life of me, I can't find PREFERENCES anywhere in Settings, anywhere in Opera. Are the Help files referring to older versions of Opera? And there is NO Print Preview???!!
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you.
