Can't figure out how to change font size, disable comments or put new lines in
-
The biggest problem is enter doesn’t appear on edited pages, just the editor. All my text is just big blocks of words.
Next, I don’t want comments. It’s a service page, not a blog.
Lastly I want the font size to not be epic like the Iliad. I’m think size 12, not 24.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

how to change font size
There are two ways: 1) buy the CSS upgrade or 2) hand-code each of your posts http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/
disable comments
Jeez. We’ve answered this question five times today already. Could you do a forum search before asking? Sigh. Here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/
put new lines in
Hit ENTER and start typing? Or did you mean blank lines? If the latter, use the br tag http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

I could disable the comments but have literally no idea what the others mean. I read through all your links. How do I get the text editor? Please don’t send me another link, I have neither the time nor inclination to read pages of text to understand how to do something so simple. I just don’t know where it is.
What is this br tag? It says later it’s a tag. Are they the same or do they have subtle differences?

Also I don’t know where search is or why if you’re answering a question five times a day the problem isn’t seen to be the way it’s done. I mean, if I had a gym and five times a day people said “Where’s the squat rack?” I wouldn’t blame them. I’d realize even though it may be easy for me to find (in my own gym) it might be counter-intuitive for them. Maybe WordPress should just have a disable comments button on the main bar. It seems a lot of people might like that feature.
Thank you for your help.

Oh I found the search bar. That’s where the disable comments button should be. Easy to find. I would feel silly if I missed a button that easy to find.

Ok so I did it. I figured it out myself. However, now everything is little small side-scrolling bars. Why? Why? Why would this ever be a good thing, ever? I put<pre style=”font-family:Arial; font-size: small;”>with my text here and got these funky ass boxes.

Excellent remark! On the other hand, the dashboard is a complex interface with a thousand controls in various compartments, and you’re alone without a trainer: when you’re looking for a certain switch in such a case, I think it’s fair to say you need to check the manual.
Now, to your questions:
a) There are three ways you can use to disable commenting on already published pages. Easier way: go to Pages > All Pages, click Quick Edit under the page title, uncheck the option “Allow comments”, click Update.
(By the way, the one of the other ways is probably where you’d most expect it to be: on the page editor itself. But WP has the respective module hidden by default.)
Are you going to publish more pages?b) The formatting on your pages is wrong because they contain wrong code (probably because you copypasted the content from another source such as Word). To clean them up and be able to apply the paragraph breaks you want, edit each page, select all in the Visual editor, copy, switch the editor to Text, select all, paste; then add paragraph breaks (blank lines) where they’re missing or remove them where they aren’t needed, and click Update.
In the future never copypaste from other sources into the Visual editor. If you need to paste, switch the editor to Text first, so that only the text and no wrong code will be added.c) After you do this, I can show you how to change the font size (using “pre” is wrong). But you’re not using the special features that Untitled supports, so why don’t you simply switch to a theme that doesn’t have such a huge font? You can check live demos of all the themes here:
