Ok Inger, Thanks for confusing me even more.
Plain and simple if I want to include H1, H2, etc tags but don't want the text to show where do I put them (in a html box or the edit header) & what do I put so the text doesn't show up on the web site?

There is some confusion about the word 'header'. A html page has a part called 'head' or 'document head' where instructions for the browsers are tucked away, things that are not supposed to be seen on the actual page.
Then there is the page 'headline', the text that is indeed to be visible on the page. That is the one that needs to be styled as h1. The visible headline is NOT a part of the 'document head', but of the 'document body', or just 'body'. And to make it even more quirky, in html the part of the 'body' where the 'headline' is supposed to be, is defined as 'header'.
I have noticed many times here and in other connections where website building is concerned, that people use 'head', 'header' or 'heading' inaccurately. Maybe we ought to get our acts together and use the words correctly. I would sum it up like this:
head - invisible part of a html document with browser and search engine instructions
header - a location in the 'body' of the document where the 'headline', and maybe a banner or some graphics are supposed to display, at the top of a web page.
heading - the actual visible headline.

This goes against the advice of Website insight. Hiding text on your page is punishable by Google. Google calls this "Keyword Stuffing" and they will deduct points from you for that. I recommend simply placing the H1's and H2's on your website that are visible to your customers, rather than trying to hide them.
