# Text Editor | Website Manual

**Text Editor**

The Text Editor module holds ordinary body text, with a toolbar for bold, italics, lists and links much like a word processor.

## Before you finish

Tick them off as you go.

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

The Text Editor module holds ordinary body text, with a toolbar for bold, italics, lists and links much like a word processor. Most of the writing on a Beaver Builder page sits in this module.

Text pasted from Word or an email can carry hidden formatting that makes fonts and spacing look odd on the page. Paste it as plain text where you can, then format it with the toolbar.
