For Screen reader users.
[Changing the size of windows]
Introduction:
To make working with several programs at once easier, you can change the
size of the windows. You can maximize or enlarge a window so it takes up the
document window.
. To maximize a window and this applies across the whole of the normal
windows environment and within applications do the following;
Step while in the window such as for example "outlook express, press and
hold down the "alt key and then hit the spacebar".
Step 2. A context menu opens up and we can arrow down this menu till we
reach the "maximize button".
Step 3. Press the enter key here" and your window should be maximized.
Note: This is a good practice to get into. Many screen readers such as jaws
and window eyes and also hal like to work with a full screen. Sometimes you
may experience times where the arrow keys seem to stop going down through
an email for example, this can be caused by a minimized screen.
We can also minimize windows. This can come in handy sometimes when we wish
to listen to say programs like "winamp" and at the same time work on a word
document or something. We don't want the "winamp window" open up in front
of our document. So While we are in the winamp window;
Step 1. press and hold down the left alt key. Then press the spacebar.
Step 2. from the open menu, arrow down to "minimize" and press the enter
key.
Now you have minimized the winamp window down to the task bar shelf.
Besides Maximizing and Restoring a window, you can also manually fine-tune a
window's size to meet your own specific needs. A window must not be in a
maximized
state if you want to manually size it.
Note: Screen reader users have little need for this requirement but should
you need too then here are the instructions;
Step 1. While in the window you wish to have resized to a particular size,
press and hold down the "left alt key then press the spacebar".
Step 2. Arrow down to the "resize option" and press the enter key.
Step 3. An object appears on your window like a cross which points "north,
south, east and west". This should indicate to you that you are now ready to
move the borders of each side of the window in different directions.
Step 4. To move out the border of the window to the right, just start
"pressing the right arrow key" and the border should begin to move.
Note: You will require sighted help for this kind of procedure.
Quick Reference.
While in any window you wish to resize. Press and hold down the "left alt
key and hit the spacebar".
To maximize a window, press enter on the maximize option in the context
menu.
To minimize a window, press enter key on the minimize option in the context
menu.
To resize a window, arrow down to the resize option and hit enter. Once the
cross hair has appeared then use the "left, right or up and down arrow keys"
to move out or in the borders.
