This may seem like a lot of information to remember every time you make a
document trust me when I say with a little bit of practice creating
accessible documents will feel natural. However in case you need a quick
refresher on the do's and do nots at accessible design here is a handy
summary. Do not use tables for layout purposes. Use text boxes instead. Use
border tools for creating formatted lines and putting text in boxes. Create
documents with insufficient text to background contrast. Use crazy or brush
script fonts. Rely solely on the accessibility checker in Microsoft Word.
Use the print to PDF option in the print menu to create PDFs--use the save as
option or the Adobe plugin in the MS Word toolbar. Place important information
in the header or footer dues. Use alt text for images graphics and tables make
sure images are formatted inline with text. Use standard sans serif 12 to 18
point font for the body. Use built-in headings to ensure that they are
properly nested. Use built-in document structuring tools for creating columns
lists tables page numbers page breaks etc. Use meaningful hyperlink text where
appropriate. Use simple uniform tables for displaying tabular data capture
grouped graphical elements as a single image and add alt text to it
