Accessing Accessibility in Windows 98
From TipWorld

Did you know there's a wizard that will help you decide which Accessibility
options are right for you? Probably not, because it isn't part of the default
installation. In case you aren't familiar with Accessibility options, they're
a group of settings that make Windows 98 easier to use. While these settings
were designed for people with disabilities, such as sight or hearing
impairments, they can be useful to everyone.  

Open the Control Panel - select Start, Settings, Control Panel - and
double-click Add/Remove Programs. Click the Windows Setup tab and wait as
Windows 98 checks your system for installed components. (Depending on your
system, this may take a few minutes.) Under Components, select Accessibility,
then click the Details button. Select Accessibility Tools, click OK twice,
and insert your installation disk when asked. Click OK again, and wait until
Windows 98 finishes copying the files it needs.  

Accessibility Wizardry

Now, we show you what the Accessibility Wizard can do for you - in a nutshell
it determines which Accessibility options are right for you.  

Select Start, Programs, Accessories, Accessibility, Accessibility Wizard. In
the resulting dialog box, click on the smallest text you find comfortable to
read. Click Next twice (assuming you don't want to change any of the options
along the way--if you do, go ahead and change them), then in the Set Wizard
Options box, select each of the four statements that applies to you. Click
Next, and the wizard will now ask you some questions, depending on which of
the statements you selected. For example, if you indicated that you have a
hard time using the keyboard or the mouse, you'll be asked if you want to
press each key of keyboard combinations one at a time. Continue pressing Next
until all questions are answered, and at the end of the wizard, click Finish.
The wizard will now apply the appropriate settings as necessary.  

Come a Little Closer

Now we zoom in on Microsoft Magnifier, a tool you can use to enlarge any area
of the screen - just like a real magnifying glass! 

To launch Microsoft Magnifier, select Start, Programs, Accessories,
Accessibility, Magnifier. A bar appears at the top of the screen displaying
everything under your mouse pointer in a magnified (2 times) view. To change
the contents of this window, simply move your mouse around the screen.
Assuming you don't want to change any options, click OK to send the Magnifier
dialog box to the Taskbar.  

When you're finished using the Magnifier, maximize its Options window, then
click Exit. (Alternatively, right-click its Taskbar item and select Close.) 

(Tip: If you use Microsoft Magnifier frequently, place a shortcut to it
somewhere that's easily accessible, such as the desktop or the Quick Launch
toolbar.)

Now we take a closer look at the Magnifier's options.  

For starters, you aren't limited to the size or location of the Magnifier.
Hold your mouse pointer over the edge of the magnified area, and when it
changes to a double-pointed arrow, click and drag up or down to adjust its
size. To move this bar to another area of the screen, click and drag it to
any location on screen (as a floating window) or to any of the screen's four
edges. Similar to the Taskbar, the bar will snap into place along any edge.  

All of the remaining Magnifier options can be changed from inside the
Magnifier dialog box. Restore this window, if it isn't already, then take
your pick of options. For example, you might select Invert Colors to provide
some contrast between your screen and the magnified view. Or, if you don't
want the Magnifier's focus to follow the mouse, deselect Follow Mouse Cursor.
The Magnifier will still follow your keyboard commands and the cursor. When
you're finished selecting options, click OK to minimize the Magnifier dialog
box. (Remember, don't click Exit unless you want to turn it off altogether.)
