3. Click on Edit.
4. If someone else is currently editing a page you will see the above message.  Try again in a few minutes.
5. Type your entry into the textbox.
6. When you have finished you entry, click on Save which will add your page to the Wiki.
7. Note that there are three icons for pasting text from the clipboard.
   • a - Paste will paste the item with all the formatting from the original source.
   • b - Paste Plain Text will paste text and remove any formatting.
   • c - Paste from Word is designed for pasting text from Microsoft Word.
