The Content Editor is a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor meaning that what you see on the screen is what the content is supposed to look like when you actually publish the page.

Using the Content Editor

In the body field you notice a text box that has several options for formatting your content.

There is also a tab underneath that gives you the option of coding
the HTML yourself under the 'Text' tab or using the "What You
See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG). For most users, the
WYSIWYG, which is chosen by default, will be the best option.

There are some important things to consider while editing the content.

When pasting content from Microsoft Word or other sources, use the Paste from Word option to keep the formatting intact.

The HTML tag allows the use of HTML code for further customization than the WYSIWYG editor allows.

Hitting the Enter button starts a new paragraph. To just skip a line, hold down the Shift button while pressing Enter.

The Check Spelling option is not the most accurate spell-checker. Use Microsoft Word or another Word Processor to check spelling. 

Viewing Your Content

Modes are listed at the top left, in a vertical fashion:
    Edit mode is used to view the edits
    Preview mode is used to view the page changes as it would look when published
    Live mode is used to view the current published page.
