Text elements can be added to web pages in any of the regions provided by the template.

1. From the TYPO3 Backend, click on the Page Module at the left.

4. Note the content on this page, then return to the Backend.
5. Click on an icon that looks like a document with a green circle and a plus sign to create a new content element. Choose an icon in the location where you want to add the content.
6. The New Content Element screen displays at the right and lists the various content elements you can add to a web page. Click on the Regular Text Element.
7. This is the Page Content form for the Text content element. It contains several fields. The most commonly used fields are the Header and the Text field.
8. Enter a title. The title will display above the text. Scroll down to enter the main text.
9. To add additional content, click on the Text tab. Then add content into the Text field.

These can control when the content element begins displaying and/or when it stops displaying. Leaving them all blank causes the content element to display all the time.
