Before you begin

You’ll need the following browser and equipment to successfully download Web Eyes®:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser version 5.5 or higher. We recommend version 6.0 if you have Windows2000. Web Eyes® does NOT work with Netscape

• Four megabytes of free space available on your hard drive

• An Internet connection

NOTE: To find what version of Internet Explorer you have, click on the Help button on your browser's menu bar, and then choose “About Internet Explorer.” The window that opens will tell you. If you need a newer version of Internet Explorer, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp for a free upgrade.

Follow these steps

1. Print these instructions

2. Close everything except this window and your Internet connection

3. Click on the “Download Web Eyes®” link

4. When a box opens, choose “Save” to download Web Eyes® to your desktop—do NOT choose “Install.” To download the program:

• Double-click on the setup.exe file, and the program will copy itself to C:/program files/WebEyes, or

• Enter another address on your hard drive where you want the program stored. The Web Eyes® browser plug-in, along with the Help Manual, will be installed to your hard drive.

After Installation

1. Open your Internet Explorer web browser. The Web Eyes® icon will appear on your browser tool bar.

2. Type in a URL (a website address) you wish to visit. At the top of the browser window, on the menu bar at the far right side, you’ll see the Web Eyes® icon.

3. Click on the "" one time and a new Web Eyes®-enabled browser window will open with the website you wish to view.

4. Click on the "" again and the Web Eyes® Page Control Window will open, allowing you to enlarge the text within the open window to the size you want.

5. Use the magnifying glass icons or ALT + Up Arrow and ALT + Down Arrow keys to increase/decrease text size.

NOTE: For easier reading, you also can change the text to column format, disable graphics, highlight information in a specific frame, etc.

How to know where you are on a page

Viewing very large text on a web page sometimes loses the logical order of the document. You can keep track of where you are by opening the regular Internet Explorer browser window, and the Web Eyes® window at the same time.

• Set the two windows side-by-side.

• As you maneuver through the Web Eyes® enhanced reading window, you’ll notice that your movements through the Web Eyes® window are tracked in the browser window. This will help you to know where you are in the document.

• If you don’t want to use two browser windows side-by-side, you can toggle between the windows using your Tab key. One window will replace the other.

Trouble-shooting

If you don’t see the Web Eyes® icon on your Internet Explorer browser window, go to the top of your browser's menu bar and click on Tools. If you see Web Eyes® in the drop down list, do the following:

1. Click on the arrow on the far right side of browser icon bar (this arrow indicates that more icons exist outside the width of your screen)

2. Click on "Customize"

3. Within the Customize window, re-order your icons so that the Web Eyes® icon fits onto your browser window
If the Web Eyes® option doesn’t appear in the Tools drop-down list, and the icon isn’t showing up on your browser window, you need to uninstall (remove) and then re-install Web Eyes®.

To Uninstall (Remove) Web Eyes®

Use only “uninstall” to remove the Web Eyes® plug-in from your browser window, as follows:

1. Go to the Start button at the bottom left of your screen

2. Select Settings

3. Open the Control Panel.

4. Click on the folder entitled "Add/Remove Program"

5. From the small window that opens, select “Web Eyes®”

6. Click “Uninstall”
