Introduction

Microsoft(R) PhotoDraw(TM) business graphics software is a graphics 
application designed for business users in general and Microsoft Office 
users in particular. Similar to other Office products, PhotoDraw 
includes accessibility features that make reading text and viewing 
screen displays easier for people who are blind or have low vision. 
These accessiblity features also make working with objects, menus, 
toolbars, and workpanes easier for people with limited dexterity.
 
Use keyboard shortcuts   Many PhotoDraw features and commands are 
available directly from the keyboard.
 
Choose pan and zoom options   You can pan the workspace and change the 
zoom level of your picture on the screen.
 
Use Microsoft IntelliMouse(TM)   If you use the Microsoft IntelliMouse 
or Microsoft IntelliMouse TrackBall pointing device, you can scroll, 
pan, and zoom directly from the mouse. For example, you can zoom in or 
out of the picture area by rotating the Intellimouse wheel forward or 
backward.
 
Enlarge toolbar buttons   You can make toolbar buttons larger so that 
they're easier to see and use.
 
View pictures in high-contrast black and white   You can use colors and 
fonts that are especially easy to view on display screens.
 
Use the built-in accessibility features of Microsoft Clip Gallery and 
HTML Help   Microsoft Clip Gallery features keyboard support, screen 
reader support, and large clip previews; HTML Help features hyperlinks 
so that users can move more easily through topics. 
 
Note   If your system uses the Microsoft Windows(R) 95 operating system 
or later, you can set or change system accessibility options. For 
example, by turning on the Windows MouseKeys feature, you can use the 
numeric keypad to move the mouse pointer and to click, double-click, and 
drag. To set or change accessibility options, point to Settings on the 
Windows Start menu, and then click Control Panel. Double-click 
Accessibility Options, click the tab you want, and then select the 
options you want. For Help on an option, click the question mark button, 
and then click the option.

Accessibility features in PhotoDraw 2000

Keyboard support for most features

Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 includes keyboard access to all features, 
either via access keys or the TAB key, in order to set focus to controls 
and execute commands:
 
Tab order and navigation keys

When working in PhotoDraw workpanes and dialog boxes, press the TAB key 
to move from one control to another in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom 
direction. Pressing F6 or Shift+F6 moves the keyboard focus among the 
workpane, the picture area, and the picture list.
 
Each PhotoDraw menu, including the main menu and the visual menu, has 
been assigned access keys indicated as underlined letters. Press ALT+ 
the underlined access key to drop down menus and select commands from 
them.
 
Note   Access keys on workpanes will be added to future versions of 
PhotoDraw if it becomes a popular user request. Also, the Position 
Picture and Replace commands do not support keyboard interaction, but 
they do support MouseKeys.
 
Documentation of keyboard support in online Help

PhotoDraw's keyboard interface is fully documented in online Help. You 
can display these Help topics at any time by choosing Keyboard Shortcuts 
from the Help menu, or by pressing F1 to open Help and then searching 
for these topics.
 
Customization of keys and colors

PhotoDraws lets you customize the following options:
 
To change the nudge amount in the workspace when the arrow keys are 
used to move the selected object, or to change the function of the 
Intellimouse wheel, choose Options from the Tools menu, and then change 
the Mouse and keyboard settings on the General tab of the Options dialog 
box.

To change the color of the view finder in the Pan and Zoom window, 
choose Options from the Tools menu, and then change the Pan and Zoom 
view finder color on the View tab of the Options dialog box.

To change the color of the picture area, choose Picture Setup from 
the File menu, and then change the Color setting on the Active Picture 
tab for the open picture, or on the New Picture Defaults tab for all 
future pictures.

To show shortcut keys in tooltips, choose Options from the Tools 
menu, and then set the Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips option on the 
Toolbars tab of the Options dialog box.



Support of Windows Accessibility Options

By default, PhotoDraw 2000 uses the same display settings as Office
97 and Office 2000. You can change the default display settings by 
choosing options in the Windows Control Panel:
 
* To enlarge the font, select the Display icon, and then choose the Large 
Fonts setting on the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog box.
 
* To change the desktop color scheme, select the Display icon, and then 
choose one of the High Contrast settings on the Appearance tab of the 
Display Properties dialog box.
 
* To enlarge desktop icons, select the Display icon, and then select the 
Use large icons option on the Plus! tab of the Display Properties dialog 
box.
 
* To set any of the system-wide accessibility options, select the 
Accessibility Options icon, and then choose the desired options in the 
Accessibility Properties dialog box.
 
ToolTips

ToolTips appear on most PhotoDraw graphical controls and unlabeled 
controls. For example, when the pointer hovers over a picture button or any 
unlabeled galleries, a ToolTip appears. Context-sensitive Help can also be 
displayed for the majority of controls by tabbing to a control and then 
pressing SHIFT+F10 or CTRL+SHIFT+F10.
 
Note   You can increase the font size in ToolTips to make them easier to 
read by following these steps:
 
1. In the Windows Control Panel, select the Display icon.

2. On the Appearance tab of the Display Properties dialog box, select 
ToolTip in the Item list.

3. Increase the font size in the Size list, or select a different color in 
the Color list.

Microsoft Clip Gallery and HTML Help

Improvements to Clip Gallery and the introduction of HTML Help in Microsoft 
PhotoDraw as well as Office 2000 offer the following features:
 
* Search support in Clip Gallery   Improved natural language query and the 
new Find Similar feature increase access to Clip Gallery with a reduced 
number of keystrokes.
 
* Keyboard support for Clip Gallery   Because features in Clip Gallery can 
be accessed via the keyboard, they are more accessible to users who have 
difficulty using the mouse.
 
* Clip Gallery screen-reader support   In PhotoDraw 2000, the Clip Gallery 
allows screen readers to read ToolTips, clip captions and other text.
 
* Large clip previews in Clip Gallery   Increased size of large clip 
previews makes clip viewing easier for those with low vision.
 
* HTML Help   In PhotoDraw 2000 users can use hyperlinks to move 
through Help, which makes it more navigable for those who are blind 
or have low vision.
 
 
 
Planned improvements for future versions of PhotoDraw

Microsoft Active Accessibility support of menus and toolbars

By supporting Microsoft Active Accessibility(TM) programming interfaces, 
PhotoDraw would give third-party vendors access to menus and toolbars 
(third-party access would  include the ability to navigate to a toolbar and 
its individual controls, move a toolbar, and get the name of a control when 
it has keyboard focus).
 
In addition, third party vendors would also be able to access these 
controls:
 
* Visual menu
 
* Picture list
 
* Object list
 
* Workspace (picture area and scratch area)
 
* Pan and Zoom window
 
* Floating toolbars
 
* Fly-out menus in toolbars (shapes, arrows, curves, order, flip/rotate, 
fill color, line color, line width, line style)
 
* Galleries and color boxes in workpanes 
 
Keyboard access to the workspace

Scrolling the workspace

In PhotoDraw 2000, the picture area and scratch area can be scrolled only 
by clicking inside the scrollbars that border the workspace. The ability to 
page up and down in the workspace will be featured in the next-version.
 
Manipulating and replacing objects

In PhotoDraw 2000, you must work with a mouse to use the Position 
Picture and Replace commands, to move the pictures guides, and to move 
or resize the shapes used to crop, cut out, or erase part of an object. 
Future versions of PhotoDraw will include keyboard support for these 
tasks.
 
Reordering objects in the object list

While PhotoDraw 2000 users can use keyboard shortcuts to select multiple 
objects in the object list, they must use a mouse to change an object's 
front-to-back order.
 
Color selection

The Eyedropper tool that appears in several PhotoDraw 2000 workpanes lets 
users change the active color by clicking anywhere on the desktop. In 
future versions of PhotoDraw, users will be able to position the Eyedropper 
by using the arrows keys.
 
Note: While the True Color matrix requires the use of the mouse to 
select a color, the sliders and text boxes on the True Color tab of 
the More Colors dialog box allow you to use the keyboard to specify 
a color.
 
Consistent read-out of selection

Many but not all controls in PhotoDraw 2000 use hidden text labels to 
accurately identify the control that has the keyboard focus to 
accessibility aids. The implementation of these labels will be reviewed for 
accuracy and extended to all controls in future versions.
 
In addition, future versions of PhotoDraw will broadcast changes in the 
selection focus, error messages, and soft alerts.

How to make Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 easier to view and access

Use keyboard shortcuts

PhotoDraw provides keyboard support for most common tasks. Read more about:
 
* Keys for deleting and copying objects
 
* Keys for selecting objects
 
* Keys for working with pictures
 
* Keys for working with menus
 
* Keys for working with toolbars

Choose pan and zoom options

When you need to make a precise selection (for example, when you fix a 
small scratch in a photograph or cut out an area in an object), it's often 
best to zoom in on the area you're working on. To quickly change the view, 
click the arrow next to the Zoom box on the toolbar, and then select a zoom 
percentage. You can also use the Pan and Zoom window and the commands on 
the View menu to:
 
* Zoom in and out by using the Pan and Zoom window
 
* Pan the workspace by using the Pan and Zoom window
 
* Scroll and zoom by using the Microsoft IntelliMouse pointing 
device
 
* Zoom to show a selected object
 
* Zoom to show the picture area
 
* Zoom to show all objects in the picture and scratch areas
 
View pictures in high-contrast black and white

High contrast is an accessibility feature that uses colors and fonts 
designed for easy screen reading.
 
1. On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control 
Panel.

2. Double-click the Accessibility Options icon.

3. On the Display tab, click Use High Contrast.

4. Click OK.

The PhotoDraw workspace, menus, and toolbars appear in high-contrast black 
and white.
 
Notes

* High contrast is a screen-only setting; it does not apply to the 
printed picture.
 
* Windows NT(R) operating system version 4.0 does not support 
picture display in high-contrast black and white.
 
Enlarge toolbar buttons

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Toolbars tab.
 
Select the Large Icons box.
 
Notes

* When you select or clear the Large Icons box, the setting 
affects all Microsoft Office programs.
 
* When you select or clear the Large Icons box, this setting does 
not affect icons that appear in online Help.
 

Choose pan and zoom options in Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000

Zoom in and out by using the Pan and Zoom window

1. On the View menu, make sure Pan and Zoom is checked.

2. In the Pan and Zoom window, do one of the following:
 
* To zoom in on a picture, drag the Zoom slider toward the top.
 
* To zoom out, drag the Zoom slider toward the bottom.
 
Tip   If you're using the Microsoft IntelliMouse pointing device, you can 
use it to zoom in or out of the workspace.
 
Pan the workspace by using the Pan and Zoom window

1. On the View menu, make sure Pan and Zoom is checked.
 
2. In the Pan and Zoom window, drag the view finder to the area you want to 
see.

Tip   If you're using the Microsoft IntelliMouse pointing device, you can 
use it to pan the workspace.
 
Scroll and zoom by using the Microsoft IntelliMouse pointing device

You can move around and zoom in on the workspace by using the Microsoft 
IntelliMouse pointing device. For information about changing options and 
viewing troubleshooting tips for the Microsoft IntelliMouse, see the 
IntelliPoint Online User's Guide. (In most cases, you can find the User's 
Guide by clicking the Windows Start button, pointing to Programs, and then 
pointing to Microsoft Input Devices.)

Options, click the General tab, and then click Scroll under Mouse 
and keyboard.
 
* You can press the CTRL key while rotating the wheel to quickly 
switch between zooming and panning.
