Hi stickers - it should be in the top right corner of your wiki. Keep in mind, it will only show up for the user who registered this wiki, so make sure you're signing in with the same email address you used to create the wiki.-

Hi Stickers,
You can expect occasional glitchs if you are copying from another web page or something like a Word document.
If you are typing directly into the wiki yourself, you should not see too many problems.
A wiki is definitely not comparable to MS Word and some people really do have problems getting MS Word documents into their wiki pages.
MS Word is a great tool for publishing stand-alone documents. It was not designed to create good web pages.
When you copy from MS Word directly into a wiki, that's pretty much what you are doing. It's a problem all over the net, not just here.
If you really need to get stuff from Word into a wiki, try saving the Word doc as a web page (using File Save As). Then open up the resulting file in a web browser and copy that into the wiki. It still may not be perfect, but it will be better.
There are other ways to deal with using Word in a website. See these articles for more info about cleaning up Word docs for web publishing.

== Final tip == this always works but requires you to reformat text ====
If you copy content from a web page or a Word document, you can paste it into a plain text editor such as Notepad. Once in Notepad, copy it from there and paste it into your wiki page. This removes the unique web page or Word formatting that sometimes causes problems in a wiki. -
A comment on the question "Formatting Issues: Spaces, links, paragraphs" in PBwiki:
Well, I'm actually working on this private Wiki for my boss, so I don't have authorization to open the pages up to anyone else. I have no idea what causes the reformatting sometimes, because it always appears inconsistent. Perhaps you could explain how PBwiki formatting is comparable or different to Microsoft Word formatting. Thanks for your time.

I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with formatting. I've found that I sometimes have to include a single space using the space bar between paragraphs.
Can you point me to a public wiki page where you are seeing these problems? -
Stickers asked a question in PBwiki on July 08, 2008 19:55:
Formatting Issues: Spaces, links, paragraphsWhy isn't PBwiki saving my format? I edit my page to have a single space between paragraphs and remove the links so they are in text form, and when I save it and look at it, there are approximately three spaces between paragraphs, new paragraphs have been formed, a space is missing between HarvardUniversity, and my links are still hyper links.
Thanks. -

Hi Stickers- we currently have Javascript disabled on 2.0 wikis. In the meantime, try inserting your code into the HTML plugin (edit page -> insert plugin -> PBwiki Magic -> HTML) or the Google Gadget plugin (edit page -> insert plugin -> PBwiki Magic -> Any Google Gadget)
We'll be bringing Javascript back soon! -

Adding HTML and JavaScript?How do I add HTML and JavaScript into a Wiki page or template? I try to edit the source & save it, but when I view my page, it completely erases all HTML and JavaScript code.
I am using version 2.0. Thank you.
