Most content types in GeoDocs 8 allow you to create rich text with links, images, and more using a 'what you see is what you get' text editor, or 'WYSIWYG' for short. This article will give you an overall intro to the editor. Links are provided when more detail is needed on particular features.
You must be a content author or site author within a group in order to open content for editing. The easiest way to know is to look at your GeoDocs toolbar when you're logged in. If you see buttons for EDIT, PREVIEW, and LIVE modes, then you are a content or site author in at least one group.

Most functions within the editor allow a person with little or no experience with websites to edit content. It's not too different from working with a word processing program like Microsoft Word. There are just a few extra functions you might not use in Word because now you're dealing with web content.
Here are some of the things you can do with the WYSIWYG editor (click to go to instructions):
Most common or easy to use functions
- Format text - bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, numbers, bullets, indent, quotes, justify right/left/center, subscript, superscript, and title formatting. (and remove formatting)
- Insert picture
- Create links - embed a link within a word or phrase
- Copy, paste, or cut text
- Copy text from a file, or specifically Microsoft Word (strips out formatting)
- Check spelling or find and replace words
Advanced users (may require some knowledge of HTML)
- Edit the HTML directly
- Use HTML templates
- Insert tables, lines, symbols, and page breaks
- Create anchor
