Accessibility: Documents and PDFs

Most inaccessible Word documents come from authors not knowing how to use built-in formatting tools. Many of us are self-taught and focus on appearance over function, leading to frustrating editing experiences and wasted time.

Accessible documents are those created using Word as intended — leveraging its tools to support assistive technologies and improve usability for everyone. Learning these tools not only enhances accessibility but also streamlines your workflow and saves time.

Accessibility Checking
Microsoft Office and Adobe provide great resources for checking the accessibility of their respective documents.
