Sometimes, resolution is sacrificed, but it is still pretty legible and it makes resizing/reformatting information really easy. The only thing that gets tedious is adding new info to preexisting charts. Otherwise, for large bodies of texts, I just use text boxes on Word at Times New Roman 4pt.
More reasons why I like the OS I'm using right now: Don't have to open Snipping Tool, just press shift+prtscr

(Downside: random freezing sometimes)
You don't need to use the snipping tool on windows... just use windows+S
Snipping tool makes it easy to copy/paste things directly onto the CS, rather than prtscr which then I'd have to manually crop the image.

Ubuntu lets you crop it with prtscr

nah the switch windows key still works, but when you press Ctrl+Switch Windows or Ctrl+Shift+Switch Windows, you get a message saying: "The ability to take screenshots has been disabled by your administrator." :roll:

Next thing you know, we won't even be able to copy and paste stuff smh :x

I don't think anyone said this but this trick was really helpful to me. You can get below 6 pt font on google docs by first making a word document and then uploading it to google drive and editing it as a google doc. That way you get a lot of perks from both word and google docs.
