VISION HELP
ENLARGING EMAIL
Apparently I failed to explain my ? clearly enough - I wanted to enlarge the outgoing email text MY EYES were seeing AS I was typing it, not for the recipient!
I think this is http://mimes.com/m/
what you are looking for.
Here is a workaround that will help you by allowing you to use a textbox in your signature set to size 7 (largest) while composing your email, and then send it off in normal size! :-)
1) place this in your signature box:
/ht ml> body> form> font size=7> textarea width="100%" growable autoactivate usestyle> /textarea> /form> /body> /ht ml>
(Remove spaces in html tags and replace < carets)
[note- classic users will have to press their tab key to get out of the growable textbox]
2) Use this textarea in your sig box to compose your email in large font size.
.
3) When the email is complete, cc&p it to the body of the email, and then remove signature to remove the textbox if you like [note- removing signature is not necessary as the textarea only has one line when empty, it's up to you and your sig design]
.
4) Be certain the To and Subject are filled in, then send it away! :-)
.
Forgot to mention, the best advantage to leaving the textbox in your sig when you send it off:
the recipient will get the email with normal size text, and if they have trouble reading that size, they can simply highlight the addy and press cmd+a then cmd+c then place the cursor in the textbox and press cmd+v to read the email in large type!
Makes it easy to compose in large, and read in normal or large fonts depending on the recipients needs! :-)
MAGNIFY INCOMING MAIL
To magnify incoming email, first copy the text with Cut, copy, and paste:

"A Special Thanks To IOM for this tip"

TO ENLARGE YOUR WRITE PAGE
Go to: http://mimes.com/m/
This site will enlarge the E-mail page that you write on.. The recipent will get the E-mail in normal size..
*
*
*
*
~ To Magnify Web Sites ~
Go to :
http://www2.crecon.com/agent33/alter.page?&URL=wtv-mail:/listmail
*
*
1.) Once you are at the site, click on options on the right side.
*
*
2.) Then scroll down a short ways and click on the "F-key" option on the left.
*
*
3.) Clicking on it will give you a black page with white text, saying save this page.
*
*
4.) Save the page in a favorite folder.
*
*
5.) Go to the folder and click on organize in the left column.
*
*
6.) Assign it to an F-key, following the directions.
*
*
7.) Once you have it saved to an F-key, go to the page you wish to magnify and then press that F-key. The text will be magnified.
*
*
8.) This does not work on all sites and will not work with E-mail.
*
*
*
OR you can use html. The recipent gets the E-mail in large text. You type in normal text.
*
*
Like this...
ht ml> h2>text here /h2> /ht ml>
I believe the numbers go from 1-7 with 1 being the largest. (remove spaces in html tags and replace < carets)
*
*
Be sure the opening tag is the very first thing you type in the very top left of your E-mail page, and the closing tag is the last thing you type... You must use the html tags in each E-mail you write.
*
*
To paragraph you use p>
*
*
*
Or;
ht ml> font size="7">text here /font> /ht ml> There is a space between font & size. Font numbers go from 1-10. With 1 being the smallest. (remove spaces in html tags and replace < carets)

SOURCE CODE VEIWER
This is a tool that allows you to view the source code of a webpage, and view those source codes in whatever text size you prefer. Especially convenient for those with small TVs or with eyes like mine that make all TVs small! LOL
http://wtv-zone.com/endymion/test/large.cgi
1) Choose a page from the top browser history menu (selects pages you've been to already), or enter the URL to a webpage in the line below the menu
2) Choose a font size for viewing the source codes and for viewing previews of any changes you make to the source codes (font 1-7 with 7 the largest)
3) Click the view button to activate it
4) On the next page, you can make changes and preview them from the link at the bottom
Hope that helps, I know R_E's tool will help lots of folks! :-) Have a Great Day!

READING SERVICE
Along with these sites, Petro, (Radio_Net) found this..... A radio Reading Service for the Blind/Visually Impaired can be heard on demand (archive audio). You must be visually impaired to use this service. They have a webtv compatable section for us webtv users to listen to the audio of USA Today, Wall Street Journal and much more. Simple to use and you just sign up.
