Hi @wmhboehm ! Thank you for the taking the time to write this review.
I understand that the editor is new, and has a learning curve. It’s not really possible to have something like MS Word, since text, media, and layouts work very differently on the web, vs they do in a page setup/processing program.
About your specific issue, are you able to share some more details, and perhaps a screenshot that shows where you’re stuck? I’ll be happy to take a look and suggest a solution.
@wmhboehm Sorry to hear you are having trouble with this. I don’t blame you. The introduction of this editor ruined WordPress. I tried to give this a try for a few years now and it is still just as counterintuitive, buggy, etc. And I’ve been using WordPress since 2010, so going on 13 years.
They dropped the ball, like big time with this. Terrible. I’d even go as far as using the word atrocious. If you want a simpler experience that is kind of like MS Word, revert back to the classic editor that was used for countless years, and it was an editor people loved, because it was simple, and it worked without fuss.
The plugin is called Classic Editor and you can download it. That said, who knows if they will remove it at a future date. If so, I’m done with WordPress personally. So maybe better to just try and learn this editor since you are new to WordPress. Good luck, you’ll need it.
