Content text formatting

[Sancho]

Hi, I HAVE searched the forumsand not found what I was looking, surprised as I thought it would have been a common issue, maybe its just me :)

I am setting up a Zen Cart store from an old website I had that has gorown to the point I need a proper store now. I have copy and pasted content that was formatted in paragraphs etc and inside the admin when I paste it the formatting remains but when viewing the site live the same as a customer would all the text is in one big mass with no paragraphs etc. How do I fix this please?

If you are not using the html editor, the text will change dramatically.
DO NOT use other generators like Word, DreamWeaver, FrontPage, etc.
If you don't want to add the html editor or hard-code the html, try something like notepad plus.

I copied it from my website, pasted it into notepad (as this removes the formatting) and pasted it into Zencart, it looked ok in there. What/where is this html editor please?

Thanks

In My Store under Configuration, set the HTML Editor to HTMLAREA.
When using the define pages editor, be sure to change the editor there as well.
