Editing and Adding Content PagesTo edit an existing page go to Pages: All Pages. Find the page you wish to edit and click the title of it.Notes on the content editor:

If copying from Word, another webpage or from a formatted email use the Paste as Plain Text Icon. This will make styling consistent with your

website and easier to edit.To format the text highlight the text you wish to change and select from the formatting options, such as bold, italic etc. There are a number of pre-formatted styles that are most suitable for headings. To apply these highlight the text and select the required heading from the Format drop down. Heading 1 should generally only be used at the top of the page (it is automatically applied to the page title), and it is not recommended to use these styles for entire paragraphs.

If you wish to link to another page or website, highlight the text you wish to link and click the Insert Link icon. If you

wish to link to an external website enter the address into the bar at the top, and tick the Open link in a new window option.If you wish to link to an existing page search for the page in the bottom half. Once entered click Add Link.
