Get up to speed quickly on making your Microsoft Word documents accessible for everyone while meeting state and federal accessibility standards. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with a brief overview of common accessibility challenges in Word and then jump right into practice.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Use the Styles tool to create a clean, navigable document structure
  • Write effective alt text for images and charts, ensure readable color contrast and design accessible tables and links
  • Use the MS Word Accessibility Checker to find and fix common issues 

By the end of this session, you’ll be ready to create inclusive documents for all.
