Would anyone know how to make the display font in OE,
larger than the predifined font size options?
A friend needs a larger font due to poor eyesight.

Thanks.
 
Chuck;

Right click the Desktop | Properties | Appearance tab | Font size |
Select: Normal, Large or Extra Large | Apply | OK | OK

[[Lists the font size options that are available for the currently selected
color scheme. Click the font size you want to use.]]

Or................

Right click the Desktop | Properties | Settings tab | Advanced button |
General tab | Display | DPI setting | Select: Large size (120 DPI) | Apply
|
OK | OK | Restart your computer when prompted.

[[Lists the available DPI (dots per inch) sizes for the selected monitor.
Increasing the DPI increases the size of everything on your screen.
Decreasing the DPI decreases the size of everything on your screen.
To use a different size, click a DPI size in the list or choose Other, which
allows you to customize the DPI setting for your monitor.]]

[[If you choose Other in the DPI setting list, you can set custom options in
the Custom DPI Setting dialog box either by selecting one of the percentage
options in the drop-down list or by clicking on the ruler and dragging the
pointer to specify a setting.]]

Or..........

[[You can use Accessibility Options to adjust the appearance and behavior of
Windows XP to enhance usability for vision-impaired, hearing-impaired, or
mobility-impaired users without requiring additional software or hardware.]]

[[Magnifier enlarges a portion of the screen for easier viewing.
Narrator uses text-to-speech technology to read the contents of the screen
aloud. This is useful for people who are blind or are vision impaired.]]

[[The Accessibility Wizard guides you through the process of customizing
your computer with tools designed to help meet your vision, hearing, or
mobility needs. Accessibility options (such as StickyKeys, ShowSounds, and
Mousekeys) help users with disabilities to make full use of the computer.]]

To open the Accessibility Wizard, click Start, point to Programs, point to
Accessories, point to Accessibility, and then click Accessibility Wizard.
 
Try This;

Right Click your Desktop; goto properties, Appearance
Tab, Under Font Size make it either large or extra large
fonts.

If that doesnt solve all of your problems, use Start>All
Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>Magnifier

pretty easy to use and should alalow your friend to
see "hard to see" items.

Hope I helped,
