how do I add colour to my text??
-
I have spent hours trying to cut and paste from a Word document. I’ve tried as an email and as a Google doc, but every time it posts without the colour needed for some of the wording.
Can you please tell me how on earth I highlight and colour sections of my post, please?

Hi there! Pasting from Word doesn’t work well because of all the encoding that comes along with it. But we have a color picker in our editor!
You can change your font color by highlighting the section you want colored, and clicking on the “A” button:

Thanks! I’ve already learned something – how to bring up a second row of icons!
Now another question – is it possible to change font? I’d really like to do that.

Hi there, thanks for all the info. But I’m puzzled. WordPress is such a good blog platform in so many ways. Yet why is its editor so basic, when other platforms (not as good as WP) offer much better editors? Is it a way of persuading us to upgrade?

The editor we offer is the one that the core WordPress project supports.
My understanding is that it’s simplified in order to keep things streamlined and encourage internet text best practices. Using several different fonts, font sizes, or colors can be very visually distracting. These types of settings make a big difference on backlit screens.
You can of course still add these styles inline through the HTML editor.
