Upsize is a plug-in for Microsoft Word 2010 that provides a set of tools to assist users in resizing documents for visually impaired readers.

It has been developed in the Computer Science Department at the University of Auckland by Beryl Plimmer and Christof Lutteroth. and Michael Connolly

Current features include:

• Automatic insertion of original page numbers
• Text enlargement
• Font replacement and alignment adjustment
• Removal and replacement of text formatting such as italics
• Tools for page rotation and margin adjustment
• Page splitting tools to allow the resizing to be done page by page, so that changes do not cascade through the document

You can down load a copy of upsize from the download page. Use is free! You do not need to signup, however if you do start using upsize regularly please let us know . We can then tell you when we have posted and upgrade or are planning more development. If there are features you would particularly like, please let us know.
