 * Save your word document as "Wikipedia Article without Formatting"

Copy all of the words in your word document and paste the words into your Text Edit document Make sure to save your .rtf file as "Wikipedia Article" Open up Wikipedia Sign into your Wikipedia account Type the name of your article into the Wikipedia search engine.
