It took me all this time, but I managed with your help. Thank you very much.

Zoom magnifies everything on the screen. I’m going to paste in some basic instructions on how to use Zoom. Feel free to ask questions. How to use ZOOM To zoom in, or to zoom out - Simply double-tap with three fingers anywhere on the screen: as long as you have enabled the Zoom in your settings, this command will turn the zoom on or off, making text larger, as well as any other items visible on the display. To move the screen while zooming is enabled - You need to use three fingers of your choice and pan around the glass display to move the current screen focus around and see other parts of the image you normally see in whole (1:1 scale, no zoom). To increase or decrease the iPad default zoom level - Here too, use three fingers to double-tap in a special way. Tap once with three fingers, and tap another time quickly (still with three fingers), but don’t lift the second tap-just keep your fingers on the screen. Then, while still keeping your fingers in constant contact with the glass display, move up to increase the zoom (and zoom in further still), or move down to zoom out. Then, release your fingers and your iPad will keep the custom zoom level you chose (which is previewed in real time). Perhaps to avoid puzzling surprises, Apple disabled this option by default; once you have become accustomed to it, you'll be able to magnify the screen at will, and probably never by accident since three-finger zoom commands are too unnatural to occur accidentally.

I am finding the Echyo partivbbularly frustrating since there is so little on it in twrms of books, and other tools called Echo that have nothing to do with it... form instance, I bought the Echo Pen and am returning it because it turns out to have nothing to do with working the Amazon Alexa Echo... grrr... I also am starting to use my iPad, which my beloved gave me last Christmas, because it is supposed to work with Exho. I needed to start using it anyway, even though I don't go to lectures or even much out of the house at my age and infirmity. One thing I am find ing extremenly perplexing is how the iPad supposedly is accessible but at the same time does not seem to be at all. I went into settings to increase the size of the font but it didn't, exceptt the Settings. I could use some typs on using iPad accessibility. On the other hand my beloved Kindle Keyboard is as gentle as a lamb, and just as tasty. I told you I was a novelist. My books are on Amazon under the names Nan Hawthorne and Christopher Hawthorne Moss and are both self published and also published formally. If you are interested in any, let me know. Thanks for any help you can give me. As I said, I am typopathological, so forgive any I did not catch. Kir Moss -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
