ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus having the function of displaying at least a character in an enlarged form and having the contents of display thereof being easily recognizable. A character at an intended point is displayed in an enlarged form according to a designated magnification rate on a screen of a display unit, and an intended area is newly opened according to the intended point and displayed in an enlarged form. Determining whether a request for opening the intended area is issued is then detected. When such a request is detected, the designated magnification rate is changed on the basis of the prior designated magnification rate, the size of the intended area on the screen with the magnification rate of unity, and the size assigned to the intended area to be enlarged on the screen. The intended area is then enlarged and displayed on a display unit in accordance with the determined magnification rate while at the same time displaying the character in the intended area in an enlarged form on the display unit.
