Welcome to Wikipedia

Hi again! I sent you an email a while ago to welcome you to Wikipedia, and mentioned that I'd pass on a couple of links that I found helpful as a new editor. Here they are: *The new contributors' help page *The helpdesk, where you can ask questions about how to use Wikipedia, and browse through the questions that others have asked *The Wikipedia Cheatsheet, a simple guide to some basic formatting commands (like making bold or italic text). I think you'll find the Picture Tutorial helpful also. I hope you have a great time here at Wikipedia. Please feel free to contact me if you need any help at all editing or finding your way around. You've got my email address now, or you can drop me a note at my talk page. Enjoy! E♴(talk) 00:22, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

In reference to your questions above, I am having trouble understanding what you are asking. In order to save edits in the sandbox (or any other page), you click the "save page" button at the bottom of the edit window. However, the sandbox is for experimentation, and thus any other editor could delete your edits or change them, so you may not see them later. If you are working on a draft of an article, I would recommend using a user sub-page, which you can create and work in and then move it to the main space so it becomes a "real" article. For example, you could make an article at User:Eustaciavie/draft.

For your second question, I think what you mean is copying a piece of the article and then editing it in another program, like Microsoft Word and pasting the final product into the edit window on wikipedia. That is fine. --E♴(talk) 00:22, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
