Q: I was told that the iMac can track the text on the monitor when in Large magnification mode

I am a visually impaired new iMac user.  I was told that the iMac can track the text your typing on the monitor, but even with the voice over on, it doesn't visually track when typing E-mails, Word etc. I do have the magnigication on very large.  What am I doing wrong?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    So this setting is found under System Preferences... > Accessibility > Zoom > Zoom follows the keyboard cursor. Be aware that you do have to zoom in using the either to scroll gesture or the keyboardshortcuts that can be enabled in that same prefernece pane.

    Thank you so much for this remedy.  I don't know why I didn't see this setting in the first place.  This shows that the willingness of those who are more experienced giving the benefit of there knowledge is invaluable.  I hope I will be able to help someone one day.  Thanks again!
