Word Accessible Document Build Guide
Write and structure a Word document so it works for screen-reader users and everyone else.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Help me make a Word document accessible. Document type: [DOCUMENT_TYPE]. Contents (headings, tables, images, links): [CONTENT_SUMMARY]. Who will read it and how (print, screen, PDF): [READERS_AND_FORMAT]. Image descriptions: [IMAGE_DESCRIPTIONS]. Give a reusable checklist table, one item per row with how to do it in Word as far as you know [VERIFY menu names] and how to check: real heading styles in order, descriptive link text, alternative text for images, table headers marked as header rows with simple structure, colour contrast and not relying on colour alone, list styles instead of typed bullets, sensible reading order, and document language and title properties. Write alternative text for the images I describe (under 125 characters where possible, saying when an image is decorative and needs none). Add writing advice: plain language, meaningful headings, and no text in images. Explain the built-in accessibility checker and what it cannot detect, what is kept when a PDF is created and what to check afterwards [VERIFY]. Automated checks do not prove accessibility; important documents should be tested by a person using assistive technology. Do not claim a standard is met.
