In all other respects, Windows Media 10 is the same as Windows Media 9 for captions. Please note that in Windows Media Player 10, you will
need to turn off hardware acceleration when viewing captions in full screen mode.

Player version 9 has the same way of resizing the caption area as Player version 7
In our opinion, Microsoft made the selection of subtitles in Media Player 7 far too difficult. There
doesn't appear to be a keyboard shortcut to do this. So, from the Media Player menu, you can choose
View » Now Playing Tools » Captions
1. Now Playing Tools (includes equaliser, captions, visualisations
2. Select Captions. Make sure 'Show Equalizer and settings' is also selected
3. Also, make sure 'Show Resize Bars' is selected
4. Finally, you can change the size of this area by dragging the resize bars to full lines of captions can be displayed.
Note : You may need to enable resizing of the caption area. This can become locked to a fixed size, and you may find captions don't fit
fully in the box when viewed.
To resize this area, you can drag the thin grey bars up and down to make the area bigger. This is labelled 4 in the screen shot below of
Media Player 7.
Older systems, especially windows 98, may still have Windows Media player 6.4 installed. This offers the simplest way of turning on
captions!
1. From the Windows Media player menu, Choose 'View'
2.Now, pick 'Captions', and the option will become enabled.
3. The captions for presentations will appear in the area labelled 3, in Screenshot 5 below.
Tools - Preferences - Content: Accessibility select "Use supplemental text captioning when available"
