Each block in the newsletter can be customized independently form all others and from the Block style.
To select a Block, click on any of its cells until the Block selection frame is displayed.
Alternatively, shrink the Style panel and click the Block selection button until the desired Block gets selected.

Block editing takes place in a form much like the one used to edit the Block style (which applies to all blocks in the newsletter), only this time all customizations will apply only to the selected block.

ADDITIONAL BLOCK FEATURES
The Block element also feature Cut/Copy/Paste icons in the upper-right area of its selection frame.
Note that when a Block is pasted into the newsletter, its position will depend on the current selection: If a block is selected, the block is pasted right above the selected block, otherwise it is pasted right above the last block in the newsletter.
When a block is initially dragged into the newsletter, it is made up of one row only. Block rows can be duplicated or eliminated by clicking the lower-left icons.
Also, existing blocks can be Drag&Dropped in a different position in the newsletter, by clicking and holding the Drag icon.
Finally, each Block can be locked so that style changes will have no effect.
