Electronic Documents

This page contains self-help resources to assist you in creating accessible documents and converting these documents into appropriate formats. It is often easier to create a document with accessibility built-in rather than remediate an inaccessible document that has already been created. 

Word Documents

• Make your Word documents accessible to people with disabilities (Microsoft)
• Creating Accessible Microsoft Word 2016 Documents (Windows) (NCDAE)
• Creating Accessible Microsoft Word 2016 Documents (Mac) (NCDAE)
