Magnifying Glass

A free program which provides a screen magnifying glass. It's not specifically for PowerPoint but it works brilliantly during a slide show.

The program is called Virtual Magnifying Glass and you can download it completely free from SourceForge

 http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/

Once installed and running in the background you can call it either from the task bar or more usefully with a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M. (You can modify the key combination if you wish)

Magnifying glass in use

This is great but there's more! Using either the mouse wheel or + and - on the numeric keypad the magnification can be adjusted on the fly AND the arrow keys adjust the size of the glass - brilliant!

Moving around your slide is as easy as moving the mouse and a click closes the magnifying glass.
