Microsoft Accessibility

Accessibility is about creating spaces or materials in ways that are usable by others. If you’ve never looked at increasing the accessibility of your digital materials, try starting with Microsoft products! With a few easy clicks, you can check for accessibility problems in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word documents. In Microsoft products, navigate to the review tab and look for the “check accessibility” button. When prompted with issues, use the dropdown menu to learn more about how to address each problem and begin the process of addressing the issue.
