As far as I can tell, the issue is about how do deal with accessibility issues in Windows 7. I'm not an accessibility expert, but I know that the Macintosh (which I use) have a large number of accessibility features for different kind of accessibility issues. I know nothing of what Windows 7 has to offer.

You might need to ask in a Microsoft forum unless someone who comes here has the same combination of issues.

I used Google to find this from Microsoft. Scroll down to find Windows 7. It looks like there is more with each version of Windows. I'm on a Mac and can't test these.

Hi Mohamed,

Apart from the suggestions above, I would also like to suggest you to try the "Touch" workspace of InDesign. It definitely does not have all the options as a normal workspace, however it might be an easy alternative for you.
