I set the default to HTMLarea but setting it to text or HTMLarea changes nothing - I can add text but cannot change the font size/type...I'm expecting to be able to edit the page like we can edit our posts in the forum.

Also...I have no idea how to get rid of the message on the home page which says, ""Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution" as it does not show up on the home page editor
