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 headers….
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 know….
Thanks
Elizabeth
