I can see clearly now!

Do you have to squint like I do to make out phone numbers in your Mac’s address book? Having problems reading addresses in your email? If so, here are a few pain-free prescriptions that, in a blink of an eye, will improve your visual acuity while using your Mac.

To make a phone number in your address book easier to read even from 30 feet away, you can temporarily display it in super-sized type. Here’s how:

Select the name of the contact whose phone number you want to magnify. Click the phone label at the left of the number and choose Large Type from the pop-up menu.

To stop displaying large type, click anywhere else on the screen or quit out of your address book.

You can also view enlarged type of phone numbers, dates, and addresses in email messages. Just slide your cursor over a phone number, date, or address in the body of an email until a tiny arrow appears. Press down on the arrow and up pop several options, including Large Type. Choose Large Type if that’s the option you want or, if you prefer, select any of the other options.

Ahhh! Just another example of how Apple pampers Mac users.
