  • How to Create Accessible Documents in Microsoft Office (Word, Powerpoint Or Excel) Or Google Doc
    How to Create Accessible Documents in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint or Excel) or Google Doc Microsoft Word application is commonly used among individuals with and without disabilities, and it has accessibility features. The following part provides information to guide you to build accessible documents in Microsoft Word. Those steps are applicable in other Microsoft Office (PowerPoint or Excel) and Google Doc as well. The major components include use of Font, ​ ​ Headings, Lists, Meaningful Hyperlinks, Alternate Text for Images, Table, and Document ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Language Identification. ​ ❖ Use Sans Serif Fonts ​ ➢ Sans serif fonts (Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Calibri, Comic Sans, and Geneva) are easier to read by digital, for learners with dyslexia ➢ Serif fonts (i.e., Times New Roman) are easier to read in print ➢ Suggest the use of an 11- or 12-point font size ❖ Use Headings to Organize the Document Instead of Manual Formatting ​ ​ ➢ Point your mouse to Home tab ➢ Find and click on Styles ➢ Use the built-in Heading styles, such as “Heading 1” (as the main heading) and “Heading 2” (as subheadings) ➢ The default, light blue, can be hard to read and is not accessible. Use the right mouse button to click on Heading 1, select Modify, and change the color of the heading from blue to black ➢ Change the default font from Calibri to any other san serif font, select a different size, or select bold; the American Federation for the Blind suggests, “Use bold. Avoid using italics or all capital letters.” ➢ Form an outline with headings ➢ With additional levels of headings within the document’s outline, use “Heading 3”, “Heading 4”, etc.
