Correct. Letters, manifests and documents can also be printed from a [[General Objects#Printer|printer]] however, this page is about formatting handwritten text.
Examining paper will let you read it. Distance doesn’t matter as humans in SS13 are actually highly advanced robots with sniper scopes for eyes so if a piece of paper is within your viewing distance then you can read it.
Using a [[General Objects#Hand Labeler|hand labeler]] on the paper lets you give it a title. This is what shows as the mouseover text. Lazy people and people who just can't find a pen can use this to make small notes.


Using a pen on a paper will open up an editing window. This will '''add''' to any existing text, and accepts certain tags.

Pen goes on paper, makes words, right?

Using a pen on a paper will open up an editing window. This will add to any existing text, and accepts certain tags.

Writing ___ in your text allows it to be filled in later when reading it with a pen in hand! Very useful for forms and standardized tests in space! One underscore gives you space to write one character so use it wisely.

The font you get is determined by the type of pen you used. Regular black pens will give a clean and easy to read font, fancy pens will write in blue and unreadable cursive, crayons comes in different colours and provide quite childish and scrawny writing while markers are big and bold and also come in an array of different colours.
