Hello Brian, if you poke around in system preferences there is an option to
make the mouse pointer follow the keyboard Focus. I usually set this up
whenever I turn on Zoom for someone. In that case, a person would press tab
once. The keyboard Focus would be set to a edit box or button in the log on
window. the system would magnify the contents of the log on window. The
potential drawback is that the log on window does not always have keyboard
Focus
Once you have zoom enabled you will have to tailor it to the person
specific needs. for example, there are three magnification modes. The first
and most useful is the full screen magnification which does exactly what it
says. it magnifies the entire contents of the screen and shows a fraction
of the screen at a time in proportion to the level of magnification.. next
to there is a mode that works like a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass
moves around the screen that magnifies what is under the glass. Finally
there is a stationary frame on the screen. The screen moves while the frame
stay still in the contents of the frame are magnified.
If you go for full screen magnification, which most people prefer, then you
will have 3 cursor modes to choose from. One mode leaves the cursor at the
center of the visible frame and moves the visible frame with the cursor.
Another mode moves the visible frame only when the pointer reaches the edge
of the frame. The I forget what the other mode does. Sorry, it's been quite
a while since I've used them. The point is, you will have to experiment
with all of these configuration settings. To find out what works best for
the individual customer. After that, you can help them accomplish simple
tasks such as logging in.
Best,
Erik

Hey all,
I have a student who needs to use zoom which I do not use. I know the
basics but am curious on the iPhone or Mac can you have zoom only magnify a
small area of the screen. For example when your Apple ID log in pops up on
the computer can you just zoom in on the sign in box a person with very low
vision can enter their password. IF so how do you do this? Thanks,
