How to Edit a Society Page

 * Use the information you put in the Society Page Form to add information to your blank Society wiki page.


 * You can cut and paste information from your Society Page Form if you typed in the information and saved the form as a document. Or you can directly type in the information into the Society wiki page, using the form as a guide.

Editing Tool Bar

 * Editing a Society wiki page is a lot like editing in a word processing program such as Microsoft Word and the buttons do the same function. Such as the bold, italic, and underline buttons.  The number and bulleted lists also do the same thing.


 * While you are logged in Wiki, click on the "Edit This Page" button. You will now see a tool bar (shown below) at the top of the page:



NOTE: if you see the image below, click on "Rich Editor" button and the tool bar above will appear.



To learn what each button on the toolbar does, see Using the Editing Toolbar wiki article.

Adding an Internal Link

 * The same "World" button on the toolbar is used to link to another Wiki article, such the Federation of Genealogical Societies. You can watch a video online to learn how to add internal link. The same video listed above. For written step-by-step instructions.

Working With Headings

 * Your society page already has headings added to your page. If you do not have information to put under the heading, delete it.


 * If you would like to add a heading:
 * type in the heading
 * highlight the heading
 * On the leftside of the toolbar, click on the down arrow beside Format:Normal. Use the drop down menu to choose the heading you want. Heading 3 and Heading 4 are most often used on wiki pages and will match the other headings in your society page..
