How To Using the Windows 7 Magnifier Program Features

Since Microsoft first time come with a utility to enlarge the screen, as a utility "Ease of Access" is to help people with vision problems see the screen better, but now the utility has been enhanced, almost everyone can get some benefit from a nice little utility, but for those who use laptops will benefit more from all.

The reason is because of the way many people use laptops. If you are like many others, and use your laptop in bed when you lie down on your pillow, you will probably find a screen Winds up to a little further than you want, making it difficult to read small text.

To run this program, both find it and run it from your Accessories folder, under Ease of Access, or faster, by typing in the Magnifier in the Search box.



And when you click the Magnifier you will immediately get the option as below:



Magnifier, has three sections, zoom-in and zoom-out buttons that are used to increase or decrease the zoom (+ and - buttons), Views menu, which allows you to change the way Magnifier works when zooming, and finally, icons Option, which allows you to set or change certain options are now available with Magnifier.

Zoom in and out fairly easy button, to zoom, click the "+" to zoom out, click the "-". You should be aware that the enlarged area appears to move closer or farther away.

It's not until you click on the Views menu that you will see many differences between Windows 7 and previous versions of Magnifier, now not only has a predetermined portion of your screen dedicated to showing you the area is enlarged, you have three options: Full Screen, Lens and docked.

If you choose Full Screen causes your entire screen will be enlarged, although it will not happen until you click on the "+" icon. When you move anywhere will remain the same screen with full screen mode.

Lens on the other hand, creates a picture that looks like a rectangular magnifying glass. You can move the magnifying glass around on the screen to hover over just the part you want to read, this is the most effective way of using because memudahan use.

Docked, is where most of your screen is used to display a magnified image of what is under your cursor, but what used to be your only option.

And when you switch back to the Options menu you will find an option



At the top, the scroll bar allows you to adjust how much the "+" and "-" buttons zoom in and out.

Below the scroll bar is a great choice color inverter that did just that, reversing the colors on the areas that are enlarged, in case that might help make reading easier for you.

Below is a list of color choices inversion three choices: Follow the mouse pointer; Follow the mouse pointer; Follow the keyboard focus and Have Magnifier follow the text insertion point. The third option allows you to change the focus of control when an item has been enlarged.

So small utilits of Windows 7 is very helpful for those of you who have problems of vision or to help you when you are at a considerable distance.
