Wikis facilitate collaboration by allowing users to freely add and edit page content without having to learn any special markup language or syntax.

1. To edit the contents of a page, click either the EasyEdit button
   at the top of the page or the Edit the content link in the Page
   Toolbox on the right side of the page.
2. When the editing window is displayed, the EasyEdit toolbar appears at the top of the screen and contains tools similar to those found in a word processor. The toolbar can be dragged to any position on the page.

Entering Text

1. Text is entered as in any type of word processing document. As with most types of web based text, it is easier to enter all the text prior to applying formatting. There appears to be no limit to the number of characters or the length of the page created.
2. Text can be formatted using a variety of tools:
   • Use Boldface, Italics and Underline to emphasize text.
   • Use Outdent and Indent to move whole paragraphs of text in and out in relationship to the left margin.
   • Use Left, Center, and Right alignment to position single or selected lines of text horizontally between the margins.
   • Use the SpellCheck button to check the spelling on a page. Suspect words are highlighted and remain highlighted as long as the Check Spelling dialog box is open. Click on a highlighted word to display the Suggestions dialog box from which an alternative spelling can be selected or Ignore can be chosen to leave the word as originally typed. Click Done to close the Spelling Checker.
   • Use Cut, Copy, and Paste to move or copy text from one page to another or from another application (e.g., Microsoft Word) to a wiki page. You may use a word processing application to compose page text offline, but any formatting applied to text will be lost when the text is pasted into WetPaint™.
   • Use Undo to reverse the last editing action and Redo to repeat the last editing action.
   • Use the Normal, Header, and Subhead styles to change the size and color of whole paragraphs. To apply, click (or click and drag) in the text to be modified and select the desired style.
3. When editing is complete, click Save to accept the changes to the page. An optional Edit Note can be added to document the changes. Click Cancel to void the changes. The Cancel command is not confirmed; it is carried out immediately. (Save as Template is not discussed in this guide.)

Using Hyperlinks

1. To insert a hyperlink to a web page outside the wiki space, select the page text
   that is to be clickable and click the Link button in the EasyEdit toolbar. In the
   Add Link dialog box, type or paste the URL of the linked page.

Using Images

1. To insert an image, click in the text in the approximate location for the picture
   and click the Image button in the EasyEdit toolbar. In the Add Image dialog
   box, click the Browse button to locate the stored image on the hard drive (linking to an image on the web is not recommended.) In the Name this image: text box, enter an alternate text message that will appear when a viewer mouses over the image on the page. Click Add Image.
2. In the Edit Image popup box, use the – and + buttons to modify the size of the uploaded image and the layout buttons to position the image on the page. Using the Align Left and Align Right buttons will allow page text to flow around the image. Using Inline with Text forces text above and below the image. Click Done.
3. To resize, change the layout, or rename a previously inserted image, click on the image to select Image sizes can be manipulated manually by dragging the sizing handles that appear around the border of an image when it is selected.

Using Tables

1. Tables can be used to create columns for formatting text. Position the
   insertion point where the table is to be, then click the Table button in the
   EasyEdit toolbar. In the Add Table dialog box, enter the desired number of rows and columns, table width (in pixels or “page” size), layout (for tables that are less than page size), and border style. Click Add Table to insert the table in the page.
2. To add or remove rows or columns, edit the table’s properties, or delete the table completely, position the insertion point in any one of the table cells and right-click to display the Tables shortcut menu.
3. Columns in a table are always of equal width; there is no way to modify the width of individual columns. Cells will grow vertically as necessary to hold text. Images can be inserted in tables as in regular text.

Using Video

1. Videos from YouTube™ and Google™ can be inserted anywhere on a page. Refer to the WetPaint™ demo for instructions on inserting video (available from the Help menu.)
