//**Inserting Files**//

Click on **File**.

Click on the **Upload Files** button to find the file you want to insert into your wiki.

In the Open window, find the document you would like to open. Click on the file and click Open.

The file will appear in the Images and Files window. **Double click** on the icon to embed the file.

The inserted file will appear in the wiki. Click **Save**.

You will see the file in your wiki as an icon. When the icon is clicked, the program of the file along with the file will open, assuming the person clicking on the file has the program on their computer.

//**Inserting Pictures**//

You can insert pictures from your computer using the process above. If you would like to embed an image from the Internet, follow the directions below. I am using Google Images as my example.

Go to **Google** and click on **Images** at the top.

Once the **Google images** search engine appears, type in the image you would like to search.

Once a variety of images appear, click on the one you would like to use.

On the right hand screen, click on **Full-size image** to go to the URL with the image.




 * Highlight** the URL text and hold down **Ctrl and C** at the same time to copy the URL.

Now that you have copied the URL, click on **File** on the toolbar to paste the URL in the Images and files window.

Back in the Images and Files window, click on **External Image** on the left. Next, click in the Load text box and hold **Ctrl and V** to paste the URL you copied. Next, click **Load** and an icon of the image will appear. **Double click** on the image icon to embed it into your wiki.

The image will appear in your wiki. **Save** the page.
