Tip for visutally impaired or doc with small fonts

As I get older I occasionally run into something that's displayed in a font too small for me to read and with no easy way to enlarge the font. Windows has an answer for my situation and one that may significantly extend the time that visually impaired people can use their PC. That answer is the magnifier utility.Magnifier has been around for a long time -- but it's rarely discussed and most people don't even know it's there. It's available from the Accessories menu under XP. Under Vista, I start it by typing magnifier on the Start Search box and under Windows 7 it's displayed on the start menu.Magnifier is a great little tool. It opens a sizeable "frame" at the top of your screen and allows you to control the magnification from 2x to 16x.Try it if you're even in this situation or ever have one of those "senior moments" when you simply need a little help seeing something.
