Microsoft 词文档 are covered in 模块2. Here are some of the common accessibility issues that are encountered while creating 词文档. The University of Washington is also a good source of information for creating 可访问的 materials: Creating 访问ible Documents in Microsoft 词.
模块2:
"Sighted viewers can scan a page and use visual cues like 更大的 or 大胆的 text to find the section of a document that 他们想要的 to read. However, for someone using a screen reader, these visual markups are useless – leaving them to navigate word-by-word from the start of the document or webpage until they find the section 他们想要的.
Using styles and headings will allow a screen reader to navigate from section to section, making for a more convenient experience for the user. To create headers in the correct order, do the following:
- Highlight document title, select Heading 1
- Highlight section titles, select Heading 2
- Highlight subsection titles, select Heading 3"
There is also information in 模块2 about modifying the look and style of headings while keeping them 可访问的.
Alt-text is a way of communicating what's in an image to those who can't see it. 屏幕 readers and similar tools will read what is written in this field, so filling it out correctly is important! Right-click on images and select "Format Picture" to add alt-text (note: add alt-text in the area labeled "Description:" not the area labeled "Title:"). This text should describe what's happening in the image. If an image is decorative and does not to be described, simply include a space where the text would be.
Use the pre-formatted bulleted or numbered lists in 词, do not manually add numbers 或破折号.
模块2: "To create an 可访问的 table:
- Add a caption for your table - select the table and right click to access the menu. 视图 一步一步地 Instructions: How to Add a Caption to a Table.
- Highlight the row that includes the category titles.
- Right click the row and select ‘Table Properties’.
- Click the Row tab, and check the checkbox that says “Repeat as header row at the top of each page” (deselect "Allow row to break across pages.")."
Note: Avoid using tables to format text. Instead, use formatting tools like "Columns" 词 to arrange your text. 表 should only be used when needed to organize data or information, as they are easy to format incorrectly and can be difficult to make 可访问的.
词 has a built in 可访问性 Checker, which you should use whenever you're unsure
if your document is 可访问的. Select "File," then "Check for Issues," then "Check
可访问性."
There is also a built-in accessibility checker in Canvas for educators (pictured at 右). Under the "Files" section, look for the accessibility gauge for each file. If it's red, you can click it for advice on how to make that file more 可访问的.
