Hi Marion, this is a brilliant post, I moved from classic editor and my site got really,really messed up.I now have 1000+ word post all appearing as 1 block of words, no space,Htags or subheadings.It`s distressing, site support did not help much.
Now my question is, is there a way to change everything in one go? my site is 5 years old so there are enough posts there for me to do everyone at a time.
Thanks, I appreciate your answer.

You could reactivate the Classic Editor plugin and hope that everything goes back to looking normal. Then go to Settings > Writing and make sure that you can choose between Classic Editor and Gutenberg for individual posts. Once you've done that you can go to each post individually and use the Convert to Blocks option.

Marion,
31 people like your training, at this point, but there is no like button on mine to click. I've noticed this situation several times lately.
Thanks a lot for the training.
