Set your text box margins to zero.

(or just use Powerpoint like me :P )

I usually type up what I want, print it out, cut it out, tape it onto another sheet, and then run copies of that.

I honestly write mine. I can understand the cheat sheet better when it's my own handwriting, and typically I color code it, depending on sections. You want to make it as small as possible, but it should still be legible. If you have an event where only one note sheet is allowed per team, then it's best to memorize as much as possible! I always try to recall from memory, and only use my cheat sheet as a reference. But typically, I space it out as much as I can, and highlight the sections which I believe will come up the most or which I need help remembering.

Google slides, File >> Page setup >> Custom: 8.5 x 11 inches (letter size)'
Size 6 EB. Garamond. Usually color coded, cram as much useful info as you need, try to memorize everything if possible so your cheat sheet is just a reminder.

Google sheets for charts, snip tool, and shrinking is the way to go. 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

Just booted up Windows 10... Super+s is search.

Although obviously you could set up a shortcut if you wanted

Windows Key + Shift + S is screenshot.
Also, google docs now lets you reduce your font size to one!!! :D

Also, on some devices PrtScr does the same thing as Win Key + Shift + S
