Importance of Document Formatting for Accessibility
Ensuring that your Word documents are formatted correctly is crucial for meeting accessibility standards. A significant number of people utilize screen readers to navigate through documents, making it essential to create a structured layout that facilitates easy access to information. -
Creating a List of Titles
To enhance navigation, it is important to create a list of titles that clearly indicate the information contained within the document. This helps users remember key points and find the content they need quickly. -
Using Styles for Document Prioritization
Utilizing styles in Word helps prioritize the document's content and improves overall formatting. In the Home tab, select the desired title style, which will apply a font and color change to highlight the title and create a section in the document's outline. Screen readers are programmed to recognize these styles, making it easier for users to navigate. -
Incorporating Alternative Text for Images
Images and other graphical items must include alternative text descriptions. This allows screen readers to convey the meaning of the visuals to users, ensuring they understand the content being presented. -
Editing Hyperlinks for Clarity
When including hyperlinks in your document, editing the text to display it in plain language can enhance comprehension. For example, instead of showing a long URL, you can provide a descriptive text like 'Meeting Notes Page.' To edit a hyperlink, right-click on the URL, select 'Edit Hyperlink,' and enter the desired description. -
Accessibility of Tables in Word
Tables can also be read aloud by screen readers. To ensure accessibility, navigate through the table using the Tab key, starting from the top-left cell and ending at the bottom-right cell. Consider using a header row for clarity. To set this up, right-click on the row, choose 'Table Properties,' and verify that the 'Allow row to break across pages' option is unchecked. Additionally, check the alternative text for the table. -
Final Accessibility Check
Once your document is prepared, it is essential to check its accessibility using the built-in accessibility checker in Word. This will help identify any issues that need to be addressed before sharing the document.
