OK, gottcha. This course assumes that people have been stumbling around in
Word so know how to type and have used things like single cell tables, text
boxes, flung formatting at text and so forth and now need to "learn how to
do it right" and make more accessible documents. It does explain why you are
doing things to improve accessibility and the impact on someone using
adaptive technology as well as the average person reading your documents.

So it takes you through the steps of using headings and custom headings, how
to create them and apply them as well as why you are changing the way you
create "headings" and that by using the styles you are adding the structure
to the document that is missing when you create a visual representation of a
heading by flinging formatting at text.

I've written books on Word from the keyboard but these are reference tools
for trainers/their students to use to create lessons not tutorials
themselves.

Cheers, Karen
