Fellow Mappers;
I have a 21" high resolution monitor and used to have problems seeing the
keyboard and screen clearly. Then I tried progressive index "bifocals".
They work great if the optometrist sets them up right. I can glance down
and see the keyboard clearly (although I've learned to touch-type now) and
then look up and see the detail on the monitor. The really nice aspect of
progressives is that with a slight tilt of your head, you can get ANY focal
length between close and distance. It works great in the car too for seeing
the both the instruments and highway too with just a little eye movement.
NOTE: Be sure to choose your optometrist carefully. Only about half of them
can set progressives up properly, but once they do, they are wonderful!

I had bi-focals before. Then I was either to close or to far. I finally
had to go to tri-focals. The new third lens was made to be perfect with
the distance to my moniter.
I couldn't do without them now.

Dear All,
Text Object dialog - Text Box - Text SIze
I find myself continually peering through my spectacles over the vast
distance past my keyboard,
over my digitising tablet to my 20" computer screen - just to edit text.
The Text box font is so small that I have to lean half-way over my desk
just to see
if my typing is correct.
Do I;
1. make more regular appointments with my optician?
2. get on a "Mavis Beacon-Teaches-Typing" course (the,failed, "do it right
first time" approach) ?
3. buy a guide dog and learn braille (long-term solution) ?
4. find some way of increasing the text-box text-size ?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Regards,
Brian Forrester
