Hi Jeff,
If you are using Windows XP, look under
Programs>Accessories>Accessibility and run the Accessibility Wizard .
It allows you to increase text sizes etc. I think there is a Magnifier
tool in there somewhere too which will magnify a region around the
cursor.
There maybe some other stuff you can find if you search through Help.
I haven't used these things myself, so I'm afraid I can't comment on how
well they work etc.
HTH
Regards
Adrian

Subject: SPSS for disabilities?
I've just learned that I will have a visually impaired student in one of
my classes for which I require some work with SPSS. I'm not sure how bad
the student's eyesight is, but from what I gather, it is bad enough so
that she will require a notetaker and verbal recordings/translations of
reading material - although she can see to some degree and appears to be
quite capable on a computer (presumably enlarged in some way). Because
this is a basic/intro class, the spss work is not intensive - crosstabs
and frequencies mostly.
Is there anything special that anyone can offer as to how this student
might be better able to use the software? I took a quick look and have
found no way to enlarge the data editor window and menu items (we really
won't be using syntax files) and I really didn't see much.
Thanks in advance
Jeff
