Install Accessibility Options in Windows 98

Ever hear of Accessibility options? In case you aren't familiar with them,
they're a group of settings that make Windows 98 easier to use. Although
these settings were designed for people with disabilities, such as sight or
hearing impairments, they can be useful to everyone. There's even a wizard to
help you decide which Accessibility options are right for you. Here is how to
install this wizard and the newest Accessibility option, Microsoft Magnifier.

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. 


Running Accessibility Wizard

The Accessibility Wizard can determine 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). In the Set Wizard
Options box, select each statement that applies to you. Click Next, and the
wizard will 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 in a
keyboard combination one at a time. Continue clicking Next until you've
answered all the questions, and at the end of the wizard, click Finish. The
wizard will now apply the appropriate settings.  


Using Microsoft Magnifier

Microsoft Magnifier is a tool you can use to enlarge any area of the screen.  

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 (two 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've finished using the Magnifier, maximize its Options window, then
click Exit. Alternatively, right-click its Taskbar item and select Close.  

(Tip-in-a-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.) 


Microsoft Magnifier 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 the
pointer changes to a double-pointed arrow, click and drag up or down to
adjust the Magnifier's size. To move this bar to another area of the screen,
click and drag it to that location (as a floating window) or to any of the
screen's four edges. Like the Taskbar, the bar will snap into place along any
edge.  

You can change the remaining Magnifier options from inside the Magnifier
dialog box. Restore this window, if you haven'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've finished selecting options, click OK to minimize the Magnifier dialog
box. (Remember, don't click Exit unless you want to turn the Magnifier off
altogether.)
