Why don't you use an online HTML editor with preview functionality. Write the words with the H1 tags or set the font size, hit preview and zoom in with your browser with pinch to zoom
Thanks for your reply but my school does not have an internet access >_< and don't ask why

Why not use a Powerpoint slide in QuickOffice?
Or use MS Paint to make graphic files and view them in Gallery, you just slide to the next picture/word

Have you tried any of the flash card applications on the market? I have used StudyDroid on my phone, I'm not certain if it stretch correctly on the tab or not. (Don't have mine with me today)
SOLUTION!
Sketchbook Express (FREE) from Autodesk!

Blank slate, pick a thick brush and write away! even has text tool.
Sketchbook is great, you can also use genial writing.

Basically I intend to buy this as a primary note taking device for lecture for this coming semester and beyond and I have some questions.
Firstly what is the best tablet office apps that work well with the hardware keyboard? I had a play with Polaris in a shop on the original Transformer but I'm just wondering if there is better out there.
It'd be nice if there was like an automatic save every 30 seconds/minute or similar feature.
Also it'd be VERY useful if there was an app that allowed me to open two files at once. So I could, say, have an editable .doc open on one side of the screen and a .ppt on the other...
Secondly how is the physical keyboard? Like I said I played with the Transformer recently and the keyboard seemed pretty nice. A little bit small but something I could get used to/fast on.
Might add more if I think of them.
Thanks, G.
Don't have keyboard so can't speak to that but for office apps I like Google docs and smart office
smart office is a lot better and is very good sure you will like it

I nabbed the Smart Office APK in the Getjar $0 sale and it seems decent on my phone, does it have a tablet interface?
See I would love to use Google Docs but I heard it requires internet to work and due to the way my university's WiFi security is I'll only be able to use internet with apps that support proxy routing (as Android doesn't have this built in to the OS).
Yes the tablet interface is very nice I like it a lot

Thanks for the screenshots!
Is it possible to have the edit option on screen always/in easy use?
I'll be keen to change formatting to underline/bold/italics etc quite often.
Also, how quickly can one jump in and out of list options?
EDIT: also how quickly can one "tab" in an indent and then get back out of it?
I would say for what you want this may not be for you
edit bar does not stay open but jumping into options is just a press of button
For you, you may want documents to go or office suite 5 I read good reviews of those

Anyone else have input? Specific to my needs if possible
I had an original transformer, just got my prime yesterday.
I used my tf last two semesters for all my classes.
I usually use the pre-loaded supernote app to take notes. It takes kb input and you can draw as well (useful for science classes).
my teachers give us power point lecture slides and for that the polaris office is pretty good, I haven't tried the other office apps, but polaris should do most of what you throw at it.
Some of my teachers give pdf lecture notes, I use repligo reader to annotate on pdf.

Just gonna bump this in the hope that someone can direct me to something that might help me more.
This PDF annotation software will help as I need to deal with a lot of case law etc.
I'm guessing that there is nothing out there currently that supports having two documents open at once side by side as I said above?
Main requirement would be snappy formatting (Bold/Underline/Italic), can this be done in Polaris with CTRL+B/U/I?.
Also the list thing, I know it's not automatic when tabbing like in Word but an easy/quick to use button is fine.

no, there is currently no way of running two apps at the same time, it's a limitation of all mobile based OS's, everything essentially runs in full screen mode.
the CTRL commands should work fine, i'm pretty sure i used them for various things on my tf101.
Are any of these aforementioned office suit apps compatible with odt (OpenOffice format)?

It's not about running two apps at once. It's about one app having two files open at once.
Say a word document on the left and then a powerpoint on the right.
I doubted it'd be available. Maybe it'll come.
Hello,
I've searched and googled for this type of app but I haven't found one that meet my needs. I know there are tons of note taking apps out there, but here are the features I'm looking for:
1. Syncs with Dropbox/Google Drive
2. Allows annotation of power point slides via typing AND handwriting with a stylus (mainly typing with a bluetooth keyboard though)
3. Allows on the spot picture taking, and adds the picture to the slide (when the prof decides to show us a slide that wasn't uploaded)
4. Allows audio recording
5. Neat and clean organization of notes. Sorted by the course, and the lecture number. eg. BIOLOGY 100- Lecture 1, Lecture 2, and so on...
The device I'm using is the Nexus 10, if that helps.
The main feature I am looking for is the ability to annotate a power point slide via a keyboard. I tried OneNote, but I don't like how you must use SkyDrive. I am already using Dropbox and Google Drive with added storage, and don't wanna pay for more in SkyDrive.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
This is something that has been on my wish list for the galaxy note 10.1 (and now the 2014 edition) for a long, long time, as an avid note-taker and professional writer. Does anyone know of a writing/note taking app, as basic or fully featured as you like, that has the organisational ability to have notebooks with multiple notes inside AND the possibility of viewing these notes in a list on one side of the screen, while you edit a note of your choice in the main part of the screen? Basically, so you can set individual notes up as sections or chapters, change their order at will, and jump between them easily? This is one of the key features of the scrivener software I use on my laptop, and I wish I could replicate on my note 10.1.
Many thanks,
Andii

Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but have you looked at JotterPad X:Writer, it's a nice clean editor that works well on the Note 10.1. It's primarily used for producing clean markdown for web publishing and works well for saving text as blocks.

Hi. I've searched far and wide for this problem and returned with no solution. I use my tab to read medical books and write notes so I open Xodo on the left and OneNote on the right in splitscreen mode (multiwindow). Whenever i use smart select (spen feature) to snip parts of a book to put in OneNote, the app says "Cant use this app in Multiwindow mode" and resets the screen to full screen leaving only one app and ruining my workflow.
I tried the force activities to be resizible in the dev options. Also tried multistar. No luck
Help please!
I have the same problem on the SM-T970 (Galaxy Tab S7+)!
Yup. same here. Tab S7 plus that I expressly purchased for this feature, and it doesn't work. Really quite disappointed about it. Just bombs out with a crappy compatibility issue. Even if there was an option to copy to clipboard without losing the split screen would be nice. Totally ruins what would otherwise be a brilliant work flow feature. My only hope is that they'll sort it out in future updates... It really can't be that hard to sort out
