Troubleshooting

The content is cut off.
This is caused by the Show-All button. Simply disable the Show-All button should fix the issue.

Where can I insert image within the text?
The Generic Content component only accepts text. Users who are looking to add image to the text should utilize Column Control to display text and image side by side.

Some of the text styles were lost when I copy and paste from other sources. 
The Rich Text Editor automatically removes some html tags so the incompatible text style will not interfere the default style.
