The first step to adding text content is to choose the "Create New Content Element" Tool (B).

See Image 1.

We have labelled the tools A,B,C,D,E - to clearly identify them (as opposed to using numbers).

Once you choose to create a new content element you are presented with a choice of types of content. See Image 2

For this example please select Regular Text Element.

Part 1 is the first series of options. See below for Part 2 of the series of options. The site supports many types of content (eg text, images, forms, file download, galleries, forums etc).

Image 3 shows you Part 2 of the series of the types of content you can load.

Each content type presents you with a slightly different content editor window.

You can now choose where you want the content element to sit on the page.

Content can be placed in the following columns:
Border - the menu column
Left
Normal
Right

There are also two 'special' columns:
Top Row
Bottom Row

These two 'special' columns make content appear (respectively) across the top and bottom of the page.

See australiancommunities.org.au/overview.html for more information about columns and how they work.

Here you see the text editor screen with the Rich Text Editor.

You simply need to add a Header and Text.

You can type straight into the text editing panel - see Image 4.
