Creating Accessible Documents
Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat are among the most commonly used software tools on the market. Please find the following step by step processes that provide some guidance to ensure the accessibility of the documents and pdfs that you create. Text within Microsoft Office documents have the ability to be read by assistive technology tools such as screen readers (JAWS and MAGic), as well as Braille devices.
