Always Run All Windows Maximized
– When a new Window or Document is opened, say: “Maximize Window” Keep the Zoomtext Cursor and Pointer Enhancements turned On to help with locating Cursor and Mouse Pointer when switching windows and the like. Use “List All Windows” to switch to another running application. “Start” is the keyword to use prior to the name of the program or window that you want to open. For example, you can say: “Start Documents” if you want to get to the list of all of your files.

When the Documents Window is Open
- Speak the character of the name of the document you want to move to for getting there more quickly. When the document you want to Open is highlighted, say: “Press ENTER” to open it.

If you cannot see the Cursor (vertical line with Blue Triangles), say:
“Switch to Next Window” than say: “Switch to Previous Window”

If you don’t see the Mouse Pointer, say:
“Press Control Shift B”

In Zoomtext the setting for Tracking Tool Tips should be set to on
