Maybe this is a bit of a weird question

Q: For summary notes (typed up) for each subject, What size and font do you recommend to use for the dot point heading /Question and what size and font do you recommend to use for the response to the dot point?

I just do the headings in bold and italics and the rest in normal. i use the default (calibri) to type but if i print i like to have it as times new roman font cos i think it's easier to read.

Yeah, Times New Roman is easier to read when printed, Calibri is better for screen.

Have a play around for a bit, it's up to you.

I've used size 9 font, .5cm bordering for my biology notes all this time, but I might change it.

I use the preset themes, subtitles etc. Much easier and comes with a whole lot of perks.

Seeing people prefer Calibri makes me feel old. I switch it to Times as my default.

I use the preset blue headings (heading 1, heading 2) it's so much better for organisation and you can do sub-sub headings etc. If you use word you can also ctrl+f and it is easier to go through your dot points.

I prefer to use One-Note for my notes, though.
