toc =How do I edit a page?= Each editable page on Wikispaces has an "Edit This Page" button at the top of the page. Sometimes the button will look slightly different or be in a different place but it should always be easily recognized. Click on this button to bring up the page editor. The page editor allows you to add text and pictures to a page and to format that page.

=What is the difference between the "visual" editor and "text" editor?= The Wikispaces editor has a visual mode and a plain text mode. The visual editor lets you see the final look and feel of a page before you save it. It's just like using a word processor. The text editor allows you to edit the raw wikitext of a page. It's useful when you want to get under the hood and tinker. We support the visual editor in Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0. If your browser does not support the visual editor we will automatically load the text editor for you.

=How can I format text?= When you are in the Edit mode for a page, you will see options on the toolbar at the top of the page. You can bold, italicize, underline, and bullet text; format text in various headings; or add a horizontal line break to your page. You can also change the font, color, alignment, or size of your text.
