Hi Justin I don't know how useful this might be for you, but I will mention it anyway. In Zoom Test, there is a lens option which allows you to have a small lens style area of magnification and this moves around with the cursor or the mouse. If you are unfortunate enough to be stuck on Poster design again try using this setting as the magnification in the lens is just as high as if you have it on full screen, but it woudl also allow you to see the layout of the entire screen and to have the area where you are working magnified to whatever level you like. Hopefully this might be some help for you. You should definitely have a bigger screen than a 14 inch one anyway. I did not know that people still used that size of monitor these days. It sounds as if it is one they have dug out from the stores for you. Good luck with the placement anyway Best wishes Tony. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Justin R" <mypc128@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 7:57 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: first day at work placement/visual based work Hi Andrew, a bigger monitor?! you're not wrong there! i was hoping for a larger monitor, it's not that much to ask but.. it seems no extra monitor was brought in anyway! infact, I'm borrowing someone elses desk, only to move elsewhere in the room next week. ii've been told it's part and parcel of office life. As for the sound card issue; I was lucky! lucky that the sound card wasn't disabled. we had a job to find the headphone jack to plug in the headphones until the boss decided to look at someone elses computer set up. fortunately it's at the front of the work station and no need to go to the back of the computer. that would be difficult given the layout of the desk and it's untidiness. well, this should be the last of my poster designing projects. I'm sure they can give me less visual based work to do, he says. Justin > ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
