[| Inserting files on the wiki.doc]

The file will appear on the wiki page in square brackets. Click and drag it to the right place on the page. The file can be opened, used and changes will be saved into the computer's files, separate to the original document.

Putting up pictures?
Having trouble getting them to be a sensible size? Here's one way.

You go to your picture which is probably in 'My Pictures' - The picture will come up in Microsoft picture manager. You right click on the picture and then click on 'edit pictures' You look for resize (which is at the bottom) then reduce the size by clicking on the %.

How do I put in a link?

**How do i create a new page?**
The official way is... Click "new Page" (top left) fill in the page name box, Create, then write on the page and Save. Click "Edit Navigation" (bottom left), type the same page name and highlight it. Make a link to it using the world map (closed link) icon. It should automatically select the right name so you'll just need to click ok. go to "edit navigation" on the left. go to the bottom and put in 2 square brackets, type the name of the page you want, finish with 2 square brackets and press SAVE. the new page will be wine coloured. Click on it, click on 'edit the page' and type in your page content.
