Microsoft Word is one of the most widely used word
processing programs for both
home and office use. People use Word to write and manipulate
text, and also work with images, movies, charts, graphs, and other
information. Sometimes Word is used to help create web pages,
Powerpoint slides, and PDF documents. This learning session,
from the Georgia Institute of Technology, teaches how to be
knowledgeable about the common accessibility problems that
those with disabilities encounter when in reading Word
documents, and web pages and PDF files based on Word documents. When
you use the accessibility features that Word offers you
can create documents that can be used by everyone, and even
provide a clearer understanding of what you are writing about.
