Large Type is a quick way to display selected text in a large, easy-to-read view—useful for presentations, reading small print, confirming a value before pasting it, or reviewing text at a distance.
How to Use Large Type
- Select (highlight) the text you want to view.
- Trigger Large Type (for example, by using Selected Text or a specific hotkey if you’ve assigned one).
- ActiveWords displays the selected text in a large view so it’s easy to read.
Note: Large Type uses your currently selected text. If nothing is selected, select the text first and then trigger Large Type.
