Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: Accessible Web Publishing Wizard Version 1.0 for
Microsoft Power Point
The Accessible Web Publishing Wizard Version 1.0 is available for
Microsoft
Power Point. It allows authors to create highly accessible HTML
versions
of Power Point Presentations with little or no knowledge of
accessibility
or HTML coding techniques. The tool makes it easy to not only conform
to
Section 508 requirements[1], but also to conform at the Double-AA level
to
the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines[2]. I encourage anyone who
uses Power Point to create presentations to try this tool to make them
accessible to people with disabilities.
The free download is available from:
http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/software/office/index.html
Please feel free to share this URL with other lists or people you feel
could benefit from this tool.
Jon
Note: Major support for this project was provided by the National
Institute
on Disability Rehabilitation Research grants (H133G030079 and
H133E980008)
and the Illinois Board of Higher Education
