Accessibility in Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000
White Paper
Published: October 1998
For the latest information, please see http://www.microsoft.com/office/
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.

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.)
To: Pan the workspace in any direction.
Do this: Hold down the wheel button and drag the pointer away from the
origin mark in the direction you want to scroll. To speed up scrolling,
drag away from the origin mark; to slow down scrolling, drag toward the
origin mark.
To: Zoom in or out on the workspace.
Do this: Rotate the IntelliMouse wheel forward or back.
Tips
* By default, rotating the wheel button in the workspace zooms
instead of scrolls. If you use the Microsoft IntelliMouse pointing
device to scroll more often than you use it to zoom, you can set
the wheel button to scroll by default. On the Tools menu, click
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.
Zoom to show a selected object
1. On the workspace or in the object list, select the object you
want to zoom to.
2. On the toolbar, click the arrow next to the Zoom box.
3. Click Selection.
