Thanks, John, for the kind response. That is what I did. The point is that the lady I was helping is elderly and the modifications for her would be those ever so slight enlargements via Display options in Control Panel for older people as she is not legally blind . If som one wishes to share with me a step by step work around off list, I would be so appreciative as this fine lady deserves help and families where older people might want to learn how to usethe computer could benefit if a JAWS user could spend the time helping out. The actual alteration in icon and text size was not in any way as large as those produced by enlargers--I have used all 3 kinds--and I was totally surprised that JAWS could not accomodate the difference in the slight enlargement of size. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John O'Rourke" <johnorourke@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 9:52 AM Subject: JAWS needs to work with larger displays > Good Day: > I think Bill Powers has the right approach. Sometimes you can solve a problem by altering the settings in the Windows control panel in the display area and setting windows XP to the classic settings. You really have to play with it and have the patience to do so. > > John O'Rourke > > -- > To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. > Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw > > If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
