Linda,
You may have tried this but go to settings - the seventh topic right of and
counting "File" across the top. Then tab down 6 times to "display", tab
down to text and keep tabbing down or up at the right of the color name till
you get the color you want. Then tab down to background and do the same
thing. The colors show up one at a time so you have to keep tabbing up or
down to find the color combination you are happiest with but it is there, I
assure you.
I find that going across the top till you see or hear "settings" and then
working down, especially to "display" gets me an almost infinite number of
changes in the look of the page and while it sometimes takes a while I
usually find the combination that fits what my eyes are doing on any given
day or subject matter - yes, I find subject and even magnification size can
be made easier or harder with these variations.
And if this doesn't help, Call Nick but don't tell him I sent you - I drive
him crazy as I use my sight to get places and he gives directions for the
totally blind. I don't always remember his instructions as I am not used to
thinking the way he does. I still haven't gotten the keyboard down so even
when I want to use it I cannot remember the button to press. Somewhere in
one of the books is a diagram or list of keyboard buttons as the one I
usually want is the one even with the help key I still cannot find. But I
can find things like cut page by going across the top to edit and then down.
Even if I have to go from file to each category and then down I can pretty
well get there it just takes time. In your case it is easier as once you
know you are talking about what you see on the page you know you are dealing
with the display and that is a setting. Just don't forget when you are
finished to press "save settings". Good luck.
Amy

Hi, Bud. For faster answers with Kurzweil, call 1-800-894-5374 and ask for
tech support, and if you can get him, ask for Nick Dotson. He is a blind
person who knows all the ins and outs of Kurzweil.

Hi Linda and others,
I'm still trying to find out where to change to white on black. I did as
Linda suggested and pressed alt t and then c and then tabbed twice but that
only took me to something about speckle removal. I looked it up in the
manual and it said to press shift and the read key but that didn't work
either. That just got me to something about recognition engine either
accuracy or speed. A few versions back it was on that read key, but I'm
using version eleven and even the manual is incorrect. Maybe I should put
this on the Kurzweil list also. Thanks for any help.
Bud
I don't know what version of Kurzweil you might have, but in version nine,
you find it by pressing alt T for settings, then c, which will say column
identification. Tab two more times, and you will be at the light text on a
dark background setting. Press the spacebar to enable or disable it.
