Magnifing Programs

[Ed]

I've reached the point where I'm loosing eyesight and need something more
than the magnification options Windows offers. The only suggestion I have
had so for is ZoomText and I am now testing it on my machine.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with ZoomText or any other
program for this use. Primarily I work with Excel Spreadsheets.

I appreciate any suggestions anyone has to offer.

This is really the wrong place to be asking about magnifying programs, but I
would suggest you contact whatever organizations you have in your area who
serve blind people (here in Canada, that would be the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind - I don't know about anywhere else). Most such
organizations serve both those who are totally blind and those who have some
vision, but require assistance in some way. I'm sure they'll have plenty of
suggestions on programs you can use.



Best of luck,
Rob

I'm not familiar with ZoomText, but some other options might be just getting
a larger monitor, or using Multiple monitors and spreading the worksheet out
over all of them to effectively give a larger monitor, or better yet, if you
could get a Projector and put the screen up on the wall.......that can get
pretty large.....I've done this in meetings and it's nice.
