An enlargement display utility program determines the range of an enlargement display area including a caret displayed on the display screen. The program enlarges an image in the determined range of the enlargement display area at a predetermined magnifying power, and requests the operating system to display the enlarged image in the range of the enlargement display area in a predetermined enlargement display window. With this operation, desired contents can be enlarged/displayed while the enlargement display area is always and automatically set at the position desired by the user.
