Subject: [WebAIM] Accessibility checker for Word 2007

I’ve read the WebAim article on making Word docs accessible
(http://webaim.org/techniques/word/) and am aware of the accessibility
checker for Word 2010. Unfortunately, within our large corporation we will
be stuck with 2007 for a couple of more years before we upgrade. On that
note, is there such a thing as an add-on that will automatically help check
Word 2007 docs for accessibility issues? It is our mandate to “teach” all
users in our corporation proper techniques in creating accessible documents,
but as we all know, the sad reality is that not everyone will follow through
with using those techniques.
