Editing Text

1. Locate the area where you want to add/clarify information, and click on the Edit link for that section of the article. (You can also click on the Edit tab at the top of the page.)
2. Enter your comments.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the Save page button - this will save your edits and bring you back to the main article page.



Using the Rich Editor is just like a word processor so you can add text in line with what is already in the article or on the Discussion page.
