These instructions are based on Microsoft Office for Windows machines. Although the principles are the same we have included specific guidance on accessibility options for Microsoft Word for Mac.
Use recognised rather than ‘unofficial’ formatting when making lists (e.g. standard formatting bullet points and numbered lists rather than spaces, dashes).
Free to download, the Document Accessibility Tool bar (DAT) is a dedicated accessibility ribbon menu for Microsoft Word that makes it quicker and easier to create accessible documents.
