Quick Start Workshop: Make Your MS Word Documents Accessible

    Tuesday, October 29, 2024 at 3:00 PM until 4:00 PMCentral Daylight Time UTC -05:00

    Get up to speed quickly on making your Microsoft Word documents accessible for everyone while meeting state and federal accessibility standards. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with a brief overview of common accessibility challenges in Word and then jump right into practice.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Use the Styles tool to create a clean, navigable document structure
    • Write effective alt text for images and charts, ensure readable color contrast and design accessible tables and links
    • Use the MS Word Accessibility Checker to find and fix common issues 

    By the end of this session, you’ll be ready to create inclusive documents for all.
    Note: If you would like to learn how to convert the accessible Word document you create in this session into accessible PDF format, join the Quick Start: Make Your PDF Documents Accessible workshop this Wednesday, October 30.
