Hi
Can you help me with the following query from a colleague?
"I have poor sight, so use the Zoomtext Text Enhancement Programme and the high visibility text options available in Windows. (The new system) seems to be very un-visual-impairment-friendly. (Text enhancement is not just about the size of text used but the colour scheme too. Most people with visual impairment see light text on a darkbackground most easily, and the Royal National Institute of the Blind recommend white text on a blue background as standard, with text set to 14 point..)
1) Ideally, I would use the High Contrast 1 Colour Scheme from the standard Microsoft Accessibility menu i.e. yellow text on a black background.
If I were to use this in (the new system), I would lose most of the Icons in the Word Processor (CuteEditor), because I would get black picture/text on a black background. I have tried the various accessibility options one can get to through Internet Options, and telling the computer to ignore specified font colour does nothing.
I can get around this by using a compromise set of colours and some of Zoomtext's features, but this is not ideal.
2) More seriously, as I have large fonts specified on my machine, the text in the Word Processor seems to come out at about 14 point, whatever I do to tell it it should be smaller. Again, however I adjust the default text in the Word Processor, it thinks it yellow - and it prints grey on a black and white printer. I am reduced to pasting my final replies into Microsoft Word and sorting out the font size there.
3) Why can't we have words as well as difficult to see Icons in the Word Processor, and why can't the window be maximised to fill the whole screen? Life would be made much less frustrating for me, and most colleagues I suspect, if it could be."
We have about 8 staff in the organisation that use Cute Editor - can you advise us here please?
Thanks.
