This four part series takes a look at how to
optimize Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, PDF and PDF forms for accessibility and
usability.
What tools do you have in Word to optimize
your documents
for accessibility and usability...and where do you find them!
What are the
improvements to accessibility of Word documents from the
perspective of someone
using adaptive technology?
What tools do you have to optimize PowerPoint
documents to
be accessible and more usable? Topics include working with the
slide master,
colour contrast and PowerPoint template design. In looking at
Excel documents,
we will explore techniques on locati95ng and navigating
worksheets.
This week provides an overview of the basics
of optimizing
PDF documents for accessibility and usability. We will take a
look at the Tags
or structure elements and how to use them. This is not a session
where we will
be remediating Tags, but we will discuss the correct Tag for the
piece of
content on a page.
How many of us have had training on how to
layout a form on
so that it can be made into a digital form in any format, but
specifically PDF?
Do any of us actually look at the forms we are trying to make
accessible? This
week we’ll take a look at some of the techniques to optimize
your PDF forms to
be accessible and usable beginning with your form template.
(This is not a week
where we will add form controls or work in Adobe acrobat, this
is a session on
how to make your own form templates more accessible and usable.)
