This group is "How to...", and here is how I found it:

and then choose the group by clicking on it:

2.  Click on the Document link in the "Add Content" box.

3.  Using the controls at the top of the document Body, one can write and edit pretty much like in a word processor.  Alternatively, by clicking 'Source', one can use HTML directly.

a.)  FONT:  Make text bold, colorized, italicized, or underlined. One can even strike through it.

b.)  JUSTIFY:

Justify to the left, or

c.)  BULLETED LIST:

• Justify to the left, or

d.)  NUMBERED LIST:

1. To create a link, type some text - in this instance, about CERN.
2. Highlight that text (CERN, in this case).
3. Choose the link icon at the top.
4. Put in a URL and choose OK....viola!

e.)  LINK TO CERN:

First click on the link icon.

Now, we have a link to CERN. 

f.)  TABLE:  

First click on the table icon.

In the pop-up, choose 3 rows, 4 columns, 1st row as header, border 1, cellpadding 1, cell spacing 1, width 600:

We get this after filling in the table with some content:

4.  Finally, choose the Save button at the bottom.  The document will be in the group.
