Karen, I followed the link to the Criterion 508 course ( http://www.criterion508.com/solutions_elearning_accessible.html ), and I see this in the description:

"This course is not intended to teach documentation professionals how to use Microsoft Word 2003, but rather only how to create accessible document structure using Microsoft Word 2003."

Is that description accurate? If so, then I am sorry to say that this is not the course we need. We need a course that assumes the student has no knowledge of Word and teaches them to use Word the right way -- the way that produces accessible documents.

Thanks, though, for bringing this book and course to my attention.

Cheers,
Cliff

I do this and more in my training and in my book "Logical Document Structure
Handbook: Word 2003" http://www.karlencommunications.com/products.htm

I am currently creating a book for Word 2007 but have been doing workshops
and training on creating accessible documents in Word since 2005. My book
has been converted into an online course offered by Criterion 508 Solutions
Inc http://www.criterion508.com

I don't repair Word documents but do audits and provide a report.

I've also written an online course on creating accessible PowerPoint for
PowerPoint 2007 for Criterion and it should be on their new web site
shortly. Contact them if you are interested in a site license. They don't
have single licenses for individuals.

Cheers, Karen
