Some of the most useful things in ActiveWords 5 are the small ones. Large Type is a good example. Highlight any text on your screen, trigger Large Type, and ActiveWords displays it in a big, clean, easy-to-read view. No app zoom settings, no fumbling, no squinting.

Why it helps

Large Type shines in the moments that usually slow you down:

• Read the fine print. Make a confirmation number, serial code, or tiny footnote readable instantly.
• Double-check before you paste. Confirm an address or amount at a glance before it goes into a form or an email.
• Share what's on screen. Show a snippet to someone next to you without handing over your keyboard.

How to use it

Select the text you want to see, then trigger Large Type from the ActiveWords icon menu or a hotkey you've assigned. That's it. Large Type works with your current selection, so highlight first, then trigger.
