Making Monitor Displays
Easier To Read
Here are some tricks I've found help me to move as far away from the screen as possible: -Using Enlarge keys. For browsers, these are Ctrl[+] (PC or Cmd[+] (Mac.
-If a web page doesn't display well enlarged, you can copy-and-paste the text into a word processing rogram and enlarge it there.
-Put it all in boldface. That'e easy to do in a word processor. On the web, you can use a "bookmarklet" that makes everything boldface. Here are the simple steps:
- Make sure your horizontal "bookmarks bar" is showing at the top of your browser. If it isn't, turn it on (it's somewhere in your menu options, probably in the View Menu.)
- Drag-and-drop this bookmarklet to the left side of your bookmarks bar:
ALL IS BOLDNESS
- Click the "ALL IS BOLDNESS" bookmarklet in your bookmarks bar, in any web page you visit.
Marc Martin usefully adds "Heh, I just use large screens and low resolution. Currently using a 28" diagonal monitor at 1366 x 768 resolution. Which can be easily read from 3 - 4 feet away (especially with reading glasses). " See http://es-forum.com/Making-monitor-displays-easier-to-read-td4035294.html.
Also, IBM and Mac computers both have ways to specify that text should be displayed enlarged, that works in browsers and some other programs.
