Hi all,

I will be conducting a demo shortly in which I'd like to show some of the
high contrast and magnification features of ZoomText to a remote audience
that will probably be sharing my screen.

So far it's looking like this won't be possible without aiming an external
camera at my screen and pre-recording the features.

Any thoughts or insights on alternatives would be appreciated,

== Joel Isaac

Have you tried running zoomtext in a VM and then running your sharing
software on the host OS?

Our setup is simple, just a basic laptop connected to live meeting or WebEx.

Have you tried the "Capture Screen" function within ZoomText?
With ZoomText running use the ZoomText hotkey combination CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+C which will throw an image into the clipboard just like you would get with the Windows hotkey CTRL+PrtScr except the ZoomText version will capture the ZoomText view. I've used this in my presentations and it works well. Depending on the magnification level you have set, the clipboard image will vary of course. I use the Windows "Paint" utility to select and copy/paste from parts of the magnified image into my presentation.

Info on ZoomText hotkeys are in its help files as well.
