Get up to speed quickly on making your Microsoft Excel spreadsheets accessible for everyone! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with a brief overview of common accessibility challenges in Excel and then jump right into practice. You’ll learn how to: 

  • Name a Table
  • Label the empty header cell
  • Increase the column width and row height
  • Label the workbook title and sheet names
  • Create space between tables
  • Create accessible links
  • Work with colors and color testing tools 

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be well on your way to creating inclusive spreadsheets that meet State and Federal accessibility standards.
