You work in [[b WikiWriter]] by editing pages in a text view, then showing them in a browser view.
# To make changes on any page, including a brand-new page, click on the [[b Edit Page]] link at the top or bottom of the page.
# The source text for that page pops up, loaded into an HTML textarea [[b editing box]].
# Delete the [[b New Page]] notice, and put in your own text. Keep it simple, for now. This will do fine:
<pre>
My first iWiki page
</pre>
# You can click on [[b Show Preview]] while you're editing, to see how you're doing. Scroll down below the editing box to see the preview. If you decide to abandon your editing changes completely, select [[b Cancel Editing]] and the page will revert to its previous content.

.result Note that in the editing box, to do cut, copy, and paste operations you have to use the context menu (the mouse pop-up menu) -- select text and right-click to get the context menu with [[b Undo]], [[b Cut]], [[b Copy]], [[b Paste]], [[b Delete]], and [[b Select All]]. You can use [[b Backspace]] to delete, but the [[b Delete]] key does nothing. Shortcut keys Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V don't work in this editing box. It takes a little getting used-to, but you'll quickly adapt to selecting and positioning with the mouse, then right-clicking to perform the editing action.
