Word - Check Accessibility in Word Video
In this video, you will learn about checking accessibility in Word.
The video covers how to use the "Check Accessibility" tool in Office 365 to test the readability of your document.
By going to the "Review" tab, you can access the tool and search for information that may be difficult to read for people with disabilities.
The tool provides an information pane with the results of the inspection and various errors that could hinder understanding.
You can troubleshoot errors and accessibility alerts by clicking on the arrow next to an issue and applying a fix with one click.
The main errors you may encounter are related to image alt text and the style of the document, including text contrast, fonts, and colors.
If your document contains tables or visual items with specific formatting, Word prompts you to check the reading order, headers, or split cells.
To be notified of accessibility issues in real time, you can select the "Keep accessibility checker running while I work" checkbox.
This video will help you ensure that your Word documents are accessible to all users, improving their readability and inclusivity.
