Ever wondered if your documents, spreadsheets, or presentations are accessible to all users?

Accessibility isn't just a buzzword—it's a crucial aspect of creating inclusive content that everyone can use, regardless of their abilities. 

Here's a Cool Tip:  Use the Accessibility Checker in Microsoft 365 apps.

With Microsoft 365's Accessibility Checker, you can ensure your content meets accessibility standards and provides a seamless experience for all users.

The Accessibility Checker in Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote is designed to help users create content that is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. 

It scans your documents for potential accessibility issues and offers suggestions on how to fix them. 

This tool is essential for ensuring that your content is usable by a broader audience and compliant with accessibility standards, which is particularly important in professional and educational settings.

Here's how to do it.

1. Open your document in Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote.
2. Go to the Review tab.
3. Click on Check Accessibility. This will open the Accessibility Checker pane on the right side of the screen.
4. Review the findings under Inspection Results. The checker lists any errors and warnings, along with recommendations on how to fix them.
5. Apply the recommended actions to address each issue. Select an issue, view the recommended actions, and apply the fix directly from the pane.

Note: In Outlook, the Accessibility Checker runs automatically in the background when you're composing an email. If the Accessibility Checker detects accessibility issues, a MailTip provides a convenient nudge to review and correct the issues before sending your email.
