The visual editor works like common text software like Word or Open Office, but it is important to note some key differences. The page widgets and the block and column page conception allow for millions or possibilities for your page layout. But the visual editor is not just a text software, it is so much more.

Settings > Design > Personnalise
You will not have to go page by page allowing for a solid design base to each page.
Attention to the keyboard commands
Do not overuse the bar Space It should only be used for its purpose : separating two words. If you want to space your content in the page, use the align buttons found in the visual editor.
If you wish to go to the next line without skipping a line, do not use the key Enter When you use this key, the visual editor understands that you want to end the current paragraph and start a new paragraph.
If you wish to go to the next line without changing paragraphs hit Shift + Enter .
Copy and paste from Word or OpenOffice
