Microsoft Word’s built-in accessibility checker helps you make your documents accessible. It scans your document and provides tips on how to make sure everyone can access your document.
Learn how to use the accessibility checker in Word with MedTech’s five-minute tutorial and download the College of Medicine’s accessible Word template.
Does the Accessibility Checker catch everything?
Not always. Reviewing your document and using your knowledge of digital accessibility should always be the first step. Use your best judgement, and if you identify something you feel would reduce accessibility (such as color contrast) that the accessibility checker isn’t flagging, adjust the color regardless.
