EXTENDED: specifies that the accessibility features are enabled in the Customize Tools dialog box and for some Properties dialog boxes.

Details

When the ACCESSIBILITY option is set to EXTENDED, the Customize Tools Custom tabbed page and some SAS Properties dialog boxes are modified for accessibility.

The Customize tab contains two additional buttons, File Menu and Edit Menu. These menu buttons enable accessibility to the commands that are available using the toolbar buttons.

The tabs in these dialog boxes are buttons in order to enable some of the SAS Properties dialog boxes for accessibility. Using the Ctrl + Page Up and Ctrl + Page Down keys, you can access all parts of these Properties dialog boxes.

When this system option is set to EXTENDED, you can toggle between the overstrike cursor and the insert cursor. The insert cursor is the default since some accessibility utilities expect the insert cursor.
