The Accessibility Wizard groups accessibility
features in categories designed to help people with visual,
hearing, or mobility impairments. A fourth option helps network
administrators set accessibility options for many computers
and/or for more than one user on one computer.
The Accessibility Wizard will step you through
several pages that enable you to set the accessibility options
you want. To use the wizard, you must first select the text size
you are most comfortable reading. Then you select from among the
four options.
Regardless of which options you choose, you must
work through the wizard from the beginning. Once you have
selected a category, you will see only those pages that relate
to the type of disability—or disabilities—you have selected. Or,
you may see only the pages for administrative options.
