I agree with Mick and we tend to spend extra time showing students the
display settings on the desktop of the chosen computer and the different
effects that can occur when you change the settings on a monitor/LCD screen
as well as the effects of different lighting systems and positioning of the
screen in relation to windows etc. If the student needs to use TextHelp
then we show them the way to change the colour and text in the speech
window so that they have several options. It is surprising how all the
changes can help or hinder along with differing fonts, double
spacing/letter spacing and column widths.
