              Before, THOMAS, KRASS, HOMERE, Administrative Patent Judges.                                              
              KRASS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                       


                                               DECISION ON APPEAL                                                       


                     This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 1-5, 11-17, and 22-                
              25.                                                                                                       
                     The invention pertains to enhancing the visibility of documents.  When a                           
              document is viewed on a viewer such as a Web browser, a clarification tool is provided                    
              for modifying the attributes of the document to make the text more visible.  User                         
              preferences define the manner in which the document attributes are modified.  Such                        
              user preferences include, for example, background color or text color.                                    

                                                           1
