Please add tips like these as you find new ways of updating content efficiently. 

  1. Copy-Paste
    If you copy and paste material, the formatting of the content including images, links and tables may get lost.  You can get around it by following one of these two methods.
    1. The first method uses a Word document as an intermediate tool.  Use this method if you are creating the page to start with.
      1. Copy your source content into a new Word document and save the file
      2. Import the file onto the new page.   
    2. The second method uses an HTML editor like FrontPage as an intermediate tool.  Use this method if you are just replacing a portion of the page.  The steps are:
      1. Copy the source material and paste it into an HTML editor like FrontPage in the design mode. Then go the Code mode in the HTML editor and copy the entire contents with CTRL-A and CTRL-C.
      2. Go to the edit mode in the page you want to update.  Go the HTML mode by clicking on "Source", the left-most item in the edit tool bar.
      3. Paste the HTML code and then click on "source" again to get back to the display mode.  
  2. Deletion
    Page deletion can be done only by Adminsitrators of this facility.  However, you can achieve an equivalent effect by going into the Edit mode, clear the contents and saving it.  Please send an email to krishnamurti.subramanian@intel.com if you want to get rid of a page totally with no trace.
