How to create accessible documents
PURPOSE
Accessible documents are easier for everyone to read, navigate, and understand, including people using assistive technology.
USE STRUCTURE
Use built-in headings, lists, tables, and styles instead of manual formatting.
MAKE CONTENT READABLE
Use clear language, readable fonts, strong contrast, and descriptive links.
IMAGES AND MEDIA
Add alt text to meaningful images and avoid using images of text when real text will work.
BEST PRACTICE
Run an accessibility checker if available, then review manually because automated tools do not catch everything.
