Hi Terri, I used to use Zoomtext on my old PC , but I found that the Zoom on the mac works much better . It has been awhile since I set it up but once you turn Zoom on in the settings ,you can go into the Trackpad preferences and turn on the trackpad gestures setting . Once you do this all you need to to do is press control and flick up with two fingers to increase magnification and flick down with two fingers to decrease magnification .If you have any problems email me and I will look up the exact settings .
