Well like it says - I edit a Page, I want to use bold or italics, or colours. Or I want to add a break so that text appears on different lines, but whatever I do - when I save the page and view it Alla the formatting is gone and the text all appears on the same line.
If I click the 'visual' tab it looks just as I'd like it, but not when I view the web site.
Would a style sheet override my formatting..?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are a few things that could cause the issue, or I should say a combination of things. With the formatting problems, you might have the "!important css" declaration overriding your CSS from the page/post editor.
Here is an example:
.post {
font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size:14px !important;
}
Or I want to add a break so that text appears on different lines
This could be a few issues, the best way to correct it is to use the plug-in TinyMce Advanced
Install the plugin, then go to Appearance>TinyMce, in the options that appear towards the bottom of the screen select the check-box that says Stop removing p tags. You can also check the box that says import editor style. If your theme has a specific file for the editor it will be used, if not it will try to emulate the css of your theme automatically.
See the image for the TinyMce Settings:
