Hello Sherry: I've already had the fonts set to the medium (125%) option which seems to be the only one available other than the 100% default. The screen resolution on my 15" LCD monitor is set to 1024 x 768 and I've tried lowering that but it doesn't seem to "stick" (I didn't find an "apply" button). I had tried the magnifier before but probably gave up on it too soon. After your positive recommendation I'll go back and practice with it some more. I've already tried it on the Source Clipboard and it seems to work very nicely there, especially when sized to fit the Text/Comments field; just takes some getting used to.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

It's *awesome* and you can work underneath it. there are several magnification levels and you can even make it full screen. You can also adjust screen resolution and fonts in Windows, but do *not* use custom fonts. Use the medium or larger options. Right click on the Desktop, select Personalize and in the left panel, select Display. After you've set the font to Medium or Larger, click on Adjust Resolution and select a lower resolution. The native resolution is only good for people who have 20/20. Go ahead and let the computer complain about "this isn't good enough" because you need to have one *you* can see!
