For writers writing a book use the manuscript button to set text settings to industry standard manuscript format, the industry standard is 12 but this size is too small for mobile devices, so the font size for a manuscript is set to 17 which is the ideal font for typing text on mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad, In Notewrap there is also a publish font size which you can further customise and change the font to a style that your publisher wants for the book, e.g. if your publisher’s requirement is Times New Roman font then change font to Times New Roman, as far as the size of the font is concerned keep it to 17 as it is the ideal typing font on Notewrap, you can change it to a size 12 later when you export note, photo or notebook in different formats such as text, rtf, markdown, pdf etc.
