Ron: I'm using Windows 7 and have made some basic accessibility adjustments but there may be others that I don't know about. That may require professional technical expertise but thought I'd ask here for starters. Surgery is on the horizon but there are other issues to deal with first. Thanks again for your response.

Before I had my eye-ops I too was having problems and adjusted my PC resolution to mike the fonts bigger, or have you done this already? I suspect that Shelley is probably the best person to advise you about all the accessibility options which are available.

Surely I can't be the only one with failing vision. Yes, I do have the screen maximized but it doesn't help with some views. One trick I've learned that might help others is to build elements of a new source citation in Notepad using a large font and then copy/paste onto the Source Clipboard. At least then I can proofread the text comfortably and catch typos. Once the Clipboard is saved it shrinks down to barely legible, but it's the best I've found so far. I wonder if others have any work-around suggestions for those with vision problems.

Have you tried maximising the size of Legacy , if the font size is too small for you? Clipboards copy exactly what they copy so they do not, and you cannot, change its font size. The paste font-size may be affected by that of the font-size of the place to which it is being pasted. (I have not tested this in Legacy) Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: Kirsten Bowman Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2011 11:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Font Size Is there a way to globally adjust font sizes in Legacy? I've enlarged the font on the Family and Individual views, and that carries over to some of the screens but I can't find a way to enlarge fonts on others, especially the Source Clipboard and left pane of the Name List. Using v 7.5.0.112 and Windows 7.
