'''Here are the steps for this method:'''
* Let's assume that you have "logged into" your WIKI and you are in <u>edit </u> mode. Refer to '''Image 1''' (click image to enlarge).
* In order to select another WIKI's contents, launch a separate (i.e. another) web-browser Window, go to that WIKI (but do <u>NOT</u> go into edit mode), highlight the contents you want to copy, and then select '''EDIT - > COPY''' from the browser menu (or press '''ctrl-c'''). Refer to '''Image 2''' (click image to enlarge).
* When then switch Switch back to our <u>your</u> web-browser and <u>paste </u> the copied text by selecting '''EDIT - > PASTE''' from the browser menu (or press '''ctrl-v''')
* The problem is that the "tags" to indicate links and formatting weren't copied. Why? Because we weren't in the edit screen! Refer to '''Image 3''' (click image to enlarge).
* In order to fix this problem, we would need to manually add in the tags. For this example, we need to add the webpage address BEFORE the text description that is inside the square brackets. Refer to '''Image 4''' (click image to enlarge).
