Thanks for the info. Mallory, I suspected that the content wasn't created with accessibility in mind. I'm going to work with them to make their documents accessible. Jonathan, I was trying to view both documents using Office 2013 (Word and PowerPoint), not in preview/pages. I had an idea after reading your email, I tried using quick look and that worked "okay".

Which brings me to another question, does anyone know how common it is for people with visual impairments to use the quick look function? That's obviously not a solution for me, but more just made me curious.

Thanks!
