Visually Impaired Users
Class Objective: This class explains the TheWord options for using the program when you have eyesight problems.
Many legally blind people who can still see some are using computers as they can to study the Bible. TheWord has a few options that make using it easier for these people.

General Suggestions
First of all, some of these types of people have talked to me, and there are system level helps that are applicable to all programs. I am no expert on these, but you should investigate them first before changing one program and fighting with all the rest on your computer.
I would recount an experience I had with one such user. He had a regular desktop computer, but purchased a large screen TV, and connected the computer output to his TV. The end result was a screen that was about 3 feet across that he could easily read. I would also recommend that you consider purchasing a small video projector, and rearranging your work area so that you have a desk about 5-6 feet from a blank wall, and setting up the video projector so it projects on the wall. We do this in our small church for congregational singing, and I have used the same setup when presenting TheWord instructional conferences. Using an Epson video projector, you just connect a regular USB cable to the projector, and the projector downloads the necessary driver files to your computer on the fly and in a minute or two you are seeing your screen on the wall. It would seem to me that this is the best setup for those with eye sight problems (which is where I am headed).
Buy me Steak Taco! You know, I work hard at my websites trying to provide you with good material that is sound doctrinally-speaking and of interest to God's people. It is hard work, but I don't mind doing it, and I feel called to the ministry, and God will bless me after all is said and done. But in the meantime, I do need to cover my expenses. I have a total of 34 websites (half English and half Spanish), and each one costs about $10 per month to keep up. That does not take into consideration my time and effort in writing content. Won't you consider at least a one time donation to this ministry of $10 or $20 dollars? It would be really great if you could gift me and my wife this money so that we could enjoy eating out at least once in a while. (I pay the expenses for these sites out of our living expenses.) God will richly bless you and repay you for your generosity. 1 Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. If you received some value from my websites, consider at lest a small donation. A big donation would really be nice, too though.

Enlarging Bible Texts (Temporarily)
There are times when you might want to temporarily enlarge a Bible text, say for example when viewing a Greek or especially a Hebrew text with vowel pointing. These icons on the left hand side of the BibleView window will do this. (Note: If there are no icons on the left hand side of the BibleView window, press CTRL+T to toggle the icons on or off).
Enlarging Bible Texts
To permanently enlarge the text size of a Bible, TheWord again shines wonderfully. Go to the Main Menu -> File -> Preferences. There select the tab at the top that says
In this window, you can individually set the font size for each Bible version you have installed as well as set the default Bible version.
