I'm currently using Google Drawings for my meteorology cheat sheet.It allows you to not have to Finnick with page settings and other such things when formatting.

You can get up to 1 on Word I think, but I don’t recommend it.

3 is legible if you have a good printer

If you're really ambitious, you can go 2.5 and you can format the spacing to be like 0.7 instead of 1.

What would be a situation for this though

Anatomy and Physiology at national level I'm going to train my eyes to read very tiny font. Every little thing counts in that event.

If you know your sheets well, fitting as much information as possible can be useful especially for single sheet events. With multisheets though I feel you don't need that much space

Personally with changing partners and whatnot, this isnt very useful as they don't know the sheets and can't find anything quickly. I'd say get as much as you can with tiny font if you have a constant partner who knows the sheet well.

How do you use size 4 font? Google only allows size 6.
Correction: Sorry just realize you use word

PT Sans Narrow is better.

I don't think that you need that many words on a cheat sheet. My cheat sheets were just 12pt font and I placed at my regional tournament.

Depends on event but yeah. At first you kinda need a cheat sheet, but then you learn the material and could do almost all of it without one. At that point the cheat sheet is mostly just obscure facts and diagrams.

I do think that you shouldn't use that massive size font. Finding some obscure info or inserting information as a refresher during the test is useful

I think it depends on the event, and the level of collaboration between you and your partner. I mostly use word and google docs (but usually if I use google docs it's just for collaboration, and I end up copy and pasting to word before printing).

For microbes we used a really small font in a giant table on one side of our cheat sheet, but I forgot exactly what size the font was. I generally just make the font as small as it needs to be to fit on the page. For chem lab we barely even used our cheat sheets, and we had no problem with space.

And I love using text boxes.

Text boxes are my worst enemy... and impossible on google docs, while on word, moving one text box changes the entire format of the sheet. Also text boxes add extra margins.
