Hello:
I think I may know the answer already, but is there any easy way to check the accessibility of any Office doc on the Mac platform?
AFAIK:
1. The Mac version of Office does not yet have a built in accessibility checker. You have to manually check each image for ALT text and make sure your document is correctly structured with headings, clear link text, tables with headersâ¦.
2. The only other method I know of is to install a Windows emulator with Office for Windows. Then you can open your document and use the Windows built-in checker or any other Windows-powered Office checking tool.
If I am missing anything, I would definitely love to knowâ¦.
Thanks
Elizabeth
