The one in 7 really is not very easy to use, while it magnifies the screen, having to pull it around is clumsy. I would like to see one of these two features in later versions. Either normal window what will expand at a click point or what I would really rather have is a 4x3 inch mouse pointer window that only magnifies what is inside the window. CTRL and + will make the letter bigger. CTRL and -, smaller. This is true in both Windows and Linux. I don't know about Apple. Thanks, this is sensational. I tried this in my mail client and it actually works! I have been wrestling with some mails with ridiculous small text and even installed a TTS app to read them. (I only knew the display menu for text size in windoes mail, but this only has few settings and the largest is still small) -- |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os |

For both methods, this is a Windows standard and works in most, but not all, applications. True. I should have said "almost all". In the command prompt window it doesn't work :-( -- |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os |

I didn't write it, it was given to me. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.11.6 Firefox 53.0.2 (64 bit) Thunderbird 52.0 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!" |

And as far as I'm concerned, that's the worst way to do it. It can be done in all (almost all?) e-mail clients; I use Outlook.exe for gmail, just as I do for all my other e-mail accounts, and everything works in gmail the same way as it does it all my other accounts. |
