Editing Content

Wherever possible, editing content should be as easy as editing a Word doc. The WordPress site also has very good guides about page and post editing.

For basic editing, you'll want to make sure you're in the Visual tab:

Then you should have access to a variety of options for manipulating the text. In addition to the usual basics – bold, underline, alignment, etc. – there are a variety of predefined content types that you should use to mark up headings and other content types. These will automatically be styled when the page is published.

There are also several more advanced formatting options available, to manipulate pieces of content with custom styles. Under the Formats menu, there are a variety of prebuilt styles:

You can use these to create blocks that align nicely with each other. Here's an example, where we've put a header on top of a 3/4 column and a 1/4 column. Simply select each block of text you want to wrap in the format, and then click the format type in the menu. Note that in Visual Mode, it tells you the type of each block.
