Accessibility features help users with physical disabilities, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully.
The major accessibility features in this product

- Operate specific or equivalent features using only the keyboard.
- Magnify what is displayed on the screen.
- All documentation is available in XHTML formats to give the maximum opportunity for users to apply screen-reader software technology.
