 * =Editing a Page Overview=

=How do I start?= Different wikis will look different, but you will always be able to find a button at the top of that page, on the left or right, that says **Edit** or **Edit This Page**. Click that button to enter editor mode.

=How do I add text?= Just start typing.

Editing a page in Wikispaces is a lot like using a simple word processor — you don’t need to know any special markup languages or wikitext. Use the **bold**, //italic//, and __underline__ buttons for simple formatting, or use the **Color and Style Editor** button to change your text’s size, color , font , and more.

=How do I set a heading?=
 * 1) Highlight the text that you want to make into a heading.
 * 2) Select the level of heading from the dropdown list in the editor bar.

This will change the formatting of the line. If you embed a **Table of Contents** widget on your page, any paragraphs that you formatted as headings will appear in the table of contents.
