Do you give presentations with Windows 7 and wish you could magnify one portion of the screen to draw your audience's attention to something important? Read on for a great tool baked right into Windows 7!
You give presentations with Windows 7? Want to draw special attention to a portion of the screen but can't quite reach that high? LOL Ya, there is another way to pinpoint something on the screen. Check out Scott Cate's video blog about Windows 7 Magnifier!
PS If you use ZoomIt, then you know exactly how useful this functionality can be! This situation is similar to purchasing/using SnagIt vs Windows 7 Snipping Tool. Ya, sure, you COULD go buy a third party tool, but IF you have it for free on your computer.............hhhhhhmmmmmm........... Hey, I'm not saying these tools (Magnifier and Snipping Tool) are exact equivalent's of their third party cousin's, just that free tools on your box, already installed and ready to go is kind of like Notepad.exe, you know it's there, you can count on it, and you know it works.
