Is there a way to change the font on a single note and not change the font on all other notes? How do I insert a special character from a font like Wing Dings? Is there a way to see a grid background whether dots or lines? ---

Wingdings: Click in Editor. Then, Win+. (dot/full stop). Finally, select from the fifth option. ![image](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/9/c9a3256cbadce5849b563e5108a62317a3df8a9f.jpeg) ---

Your font is set in the Inspector (Ctrl+Shift+I). Change a font to a highlighted item and it changes all fonts. Font sizes though can be different, as well a font effects. ![image](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/3/43026f0ee3cda836c73f9177321367e490ffdb42.png) ---

Gridlines or dots, no. Only a Page Guide. ---

Stupid question - Where is Editor in Win Scapple? ---

Can one use page guides to approximate a grid by making a custom page size, for example, 3" x 3"? ---

The Scapple-board or canvas, more accurately. ---

> [@OldOne](#): > > Can one use page guides to approximate a grid Try it yourself, trial and error. It can shrink to within an approximation of a page. Obviously, the more you use its infinite canvas outside of the dimensions of your screen, the smaller your output will be. Press F1 for the user manual. ---

Thank you. All very helpful. I still don’t understand where the “Editor” is. Is this a Mac function? ---

It’s called the canvas. I called the editor earlier. It’s the workspace you create in. ---

For “page guides” you may try first selecting your page size and margins (File → Page Setup). Then insert a single background shape (Notes → New Background Shape). Check how it fits the page with File → Print Preview. Resize the background shape by trial and error methods as @RevoTiLlor suggested until it fits. Save the file which you would use as a template for your future work. Of course, that work will be rather limited when compared to the infinite size canvas: I use a limited size canvas when I make a mindmap for a section or a chapter to be used in Scivener’s notes so that I can actually read what’s in it.
