USING ALL CAPS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED

Sat, 04/05/2008 - 19:51
Topic: Epilepsy.com Help
HI EPI, I WONDER IF YOU COULD DO SOME DAMAGE CONTROL OR IF I SHOULD EMAIL WARREN SO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS THAT, LIKE ME, THERE ARE VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE ON THIS SITE WHO NEED ALL CAPS, REGARDLESS OF HOW OUR COMPUTERS ARE ACCESSORIZED? IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP. SOME PEOPLE, LIKE MY FRIEND, BANFFGIRL HAVE PEOPLE ACCUSING HER OF YELLING AT THEM BECAUSE SHE IS USING ALL CAPS SO I AND OTHERS CAN SEE. ANY HELP WOULD REALLY BE APPRECIATED. THINGS ARE GETTING PRETTY UGLY HERE. THANKS A BUNCH, HOPE YOU ARE WELL, BLESSINGS, JAN

WINDOWS, IF YOU'RE USING WINDOWS, HAS A 'MAGNIFIER' FEATURE THAT MAGNIFIES THE SCREEN TO MAKE IT EASIER TO SEE. I DON'T USE IT OFTEN, BUT I DO USE OT FOR A FEW SITUATIONS IN READING ON-LINE MANUALS WHERE THE TEXT IS HARD TO READ. FOLLOW THIS LINK TO WINDOWS HELP TO SEE IF IT HELPS YOU:
