Hello EASI colleagues,

I think most people with disabilities would agree that Word is a fairly accessible format. However, I know that there are features that are difficult or impossible to access using assistive technologies and alternative access techniques. 

I am making a list of "rules" for people who create Word files on what they can do to ensure that Word documents are as accessible as possible. I would welcome your suggestions on what to do - and what to avoid - to ensure that Word documents are fully accessible to you. 

Note that I am compiling rules about what makes it easy or hard to access the CONTENT of Word file. There are also dos and don'ts around the user interface, but I am not dealing with these now.
