Thanks, Rik. I was rather hoping for something that would fit over teh
computer screen and thus enlarge teh print, rather than software, ht
maybe that would do except that I have a Mac, not windows. However, since
you told me tthe kind of hing it is I can maybe do a search and see if I
can find something like that for tthe Mac. Ahat I do is enlarge my Word
files to 300 mag., and just keep[ clicking on the plus sign on use zoom in
to enlarge web pages. smile

*The current version 13 was a recent major upgrade in the program. It runs

*Here is a link to the page where persons may download it and try it for a

*One thing I would mention, that it can feel a bit unnerving when new to
this type of program.*
*The program features will cause your display to appear to jump around if
you are not used to it.*
*It moves with the current focus. It is all adjustable as to how much you
want to see at one time, or even see normal and enlarged view at the same
time. *
*But it can be that because the entire screen cannot show on your screen
it will look like it is jumping back and forth and up and down.*
*It made me kind of dizzy until I got to where I understood it better. *
*Now that I know that, I really feel I am helped because I am not having
to use my wee bit of vision to hunt and hunt.*
