visually impaired aids

[Guest]

Is there a special or specific application to use within microsoft office for
someone who is visually impaired

There's nothing specifically in Word, but check the possibilities in Windows
Control Panel | Accessibility Options.

Not specifically for Office but for Windows in general.

Besides the accessibility programs built into Windows that Suzanne
mentioned, there are many products listed at http://www.nanopac.com/JAWS.htm
and http://www.freedomsci.com. The JAWS program seems to be quite popular
(and unfortunately quite expensive). Beyond that, try asking Google or
ask.com.

In addition to what Jay mentioned, if you need to display math or science
notation in your documents, we provide a free MathML rendering engine,
MathPlayer. For more information on MathML, math accessibility, and creating
accessible math documents, see our "Accessibility Solutions" page at
