Re: Software support
Gemma, Whatever type of computer is being used, Windows or Mac, will have accessibility options like screen magnification, high contrast text and borders, etc. If the computer's accessibility options are used then every program used on the computer will have the selected options applied. So every program would be zoomed, or have larger text, or higher contrast text or all of it if all of it was selected. If the only interest is to increase the size of the worksheet's cells and their contents, not the menus, not anything else, then the zoom feature for the worksheet does that. Zoom is found under the View menu and the controls at the bottom right corner of the Calc window.

Yours sincerely Gemma Lloyd Sent from my iPhone Greetings Gemma There are a couple of ways to increase he zoom level of any of the parts of OpenOffice. 1. Click View > Zoom and play with the options on the page that opens. 2. Use the slider at the bottom right of the screen to set the zoom level that is comfortable for him.

Looking forward to your > response. > > Yours sincerely > > Gemma Lloyd > HI Gemma, You forgot to say which operating system he uses. Windows, Linux, Mac? The answer depends on the operating system. Windows 10 and Windows 11 provide plenty of accessibility features, eg setting the minimum font size used on the PS and apps. Or setting High Contrast mode. For more info on Win10 and Win11 accessibility settings see this Microsoft support note below https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/make-text-and-apps-bigger-c3095a80-6edd-4779-9282-623c4d721d64 FC
Re: Software support
Easiest would be a large monitor. There are also screen reader programs. Is there any support group that might help?

Dear Open Office Support, My grandfather who has used Open office via you and Sun Systems for years and worked as an engineer in the tech and electronics sector (ICL,D2D, Fujitsu and Celestica) all his life now at the grand age of 81 has issues with his eye sight due to macular degenerative disease. I was wondering if there is anyway Open Office more specifically excel can be enlarged or if there are any accessibility settings or software you know of that could help him continue to use his computer at all? Any help or advice would be most appreciated. Looking forward to your response.
