FCK is a visual editor that contains a toolbar with buttons similar to most word processing applications. It allows you to create and edit content for your web site with little HTML or CSS knowledge. You can use FCK to insert, edit and delete images, links, and tables as well as format text. If you hover your mouse cursor over a button in the FCK toolbar, a short description of it’s function will appear. To remove formatting, highlight the formatted text and click once on the selected button.
Tip: To locate the FCK editor, Log in to the system. Select either the edit tab on your web page or portlet, or go to the "add to folder" drop-down menu and select "page".
