[Trainer-talk] Windows High Contrast Black

I cannot necessarily tell you why it happens, but I have used this exact
configuation for many years. It is true that in many instances various
options do not appear when in high contrast black. The WORD issue,
however, is new. That seems to happen when a WORD document is created in a
newer version of WORD.

You may get your best answer/resolution by contacting AiSquared...as I
have yet to do.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but I can indeed concur that these two
exact issues are and have happened for some time.

Trainers,

I have a student who uses the Windows High Contrast Windows Black setting
on his computer.  There are a couple anomolies that I don't understand,
and
wonder if anyone can explain them.  He also uses ZoomText, and these
problems don't show up if he uses the inverse with ZoomText instead of
through Windows (which is the best answer to the questions.)  However, I
will ask:

The first issue is using Gmail:  When in the high contrast settings,
several of the buttons don't show up, such as Select, Refresh, Newer and
Older.  If he hovers with a mouse, it will then pop up the name of the
button.

The second, even weirder issue is when he opens a Word attachment:  The
document shows up in the regular contrast, not in reverse contrast.  Of
course, if he is using ZoomText in the inverse setting, this problem
doesn't exist.

Thank you in advance for any explanations!
