Using Magnifier

The Magnifier component that comes with Windows 98 can make the computer screen easier to read for people who have low vision, or for whenever magnifying screen elements would be helpful. The Magnifier works by displaying an enlarged section of your screen in a narrow window along the top of your screen.

The Magnifier allows you to:

• Magnify an area of the screen up to nine times the standard display size. • Follow the mouse cursor, the keyboard focus, the text editing focus, or any combination of these three. • Invert colors for contrast.

• Toggle high contrast display for the entire screen. • Resize and relocate the display area.

When the Magnifier is on, the magnified area is merely a display and not itself an active area. The active focus for cursor, keyboard, and other input devices is always in the unmagnified area.

To Start using the magnifier follow these steps :

• On the Start menu: • Select Programs. • Select Accessories. • Select Accessibility. • Select Magnifier.

• Select or clear the check boxes for options that best suits your needs.
