Dropbox Paper - editing tools

Hi guys. 

I'm new to paper, and i think this could be good for my note taking, but i can't seem to find editing tools, like text size, marking and italic? 

  • Click the question mark in the lower right corner, then select Keyboard Shortcuts. The popup that opens can be scrolled for the entire list.

        Hello flash567

        Welcome to the Dropbox Community!

        From what I understand, you're trying to apply "Strikethrough" on your text, is that right?

        If you're having trouble doing so, could you please try another browser or an incognito window? Maybe that will do the trick. 

        Let me know how it goes!
