0. Writing here is in sections, subsections, paragraphs and ”chunks”. Thus a figure in the paper is considered a ”chunk” that is entered separately. It is intuitive and easy really.

1. To edit, just double click on the text of the ’chunk’ to start editing it.

2. You will see simple options of editing the text: from left to right, these are cite, table, B, I, ¡¿, .-, 1-, ”, link, three levels of headers

3. Notes: ”cite” is for inserting citations. Here are the rules for inserting citations:

Click next to the text where you’d like to insert citation

Click ”cite” on the top

This will open a citation window where you can search for references. You can insert from the search results, OR,

You can import citations from your personal reference manager such as Endnote. Use the BibTeX format to import citations and stick to the textbox

To bring in citations from Endnote, activate the ”BibTeX Style” in your endnote style directory. Then, select the references (or all references) and then export the references using the BibTeX style. This is really easy, takes about a couple of minutes at most.

Inserting tables is by clicking on the grid image and filling in the cells of the table. But you can write your tables and grids of data in excel (I use Google Sheets) and then copy and paste to http://www.tablesgenerator.com, then copy and paste. There are many other ways. I usually direclty write LaTeX tables, but you will not need to do that.

The first or header row is for table headers.

The B and I are for bolding or italicising the text if you want.

The ”¡¿” is for inserting computer codes such as R or Stata codes. We may not always need it

The next two are for lists (number lists and bullet lists)

For quote, select the text you want to quote and put quote marks by clicking on it

Similarly the link, just put the URL between curly brackets

And then the three levels of headers will be shown as sections so just select t he text you want to set as header (for whatever headiing level you want) and click the respective symbol (first level header h1 and so on)

That’s all about editing the text blocks.

We can also comment at each level of the section or block

There is no fear of losing data as it is backed up tightly and we can easily restore old copies and backups

Start new lines with by separating existing lines with a blank space

If you want to make changes please go ahead and make changes. Both the old and new texts will be available all the time.

Really look forward to your collaboration and cooperation. I find it very easy and intuitive and productive way of writing papers, and hopefully you will find too. Takes a few minutes to adjust but after that, it is easy and intuitive.
