 * How To’s **

This page will have information and tutorials for how to do things on the Wiki as well as how to create uploadable creative works for your Space Project. First, let's find out what a wiki is:

Add Hyperlinks
To add hyperlinks, click the insert link icon: Be sure to choose External Link. Type in the Link Text (the name of the website, NOT the URL) along with any description of the site. Copy and paste the URL in the address box, then click OK.

Font Color and Style
1. Edit your page. 2. Highlight the text you wish to format. 3. Click on the text formatting icon in the toolbar. 4. Format the text as you wish and click “Apply Style.” **You can also type up what you need in Microsoft Word, and then copy and paste into your page.

Pictures and Files
You can include pictures and files in your pages easily using the visual editor. When in the visual editor:
 * Click the image icon which looks like a tree in a box [[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/s/rte/images/image.gif width="22" height="23"]]
 * Use the 'Upload New File' to upload a picture or file that has been saved to your H or R drive on the network or from a flash drive or CD.
 * Put the cursor at the position on the page where you wish to put the image or file
 * Find the image or file in the Images & Files dialogue box
 * Double click the image or file to put it on the page

Using PhotoStory

 * Add music (from Photostory)
