The "Illinois Web Accessibility Wizard for Microsoft Office"
creates web resources that can meet or exceed both Section 508
or WCAG 1.0 Double-A conformance and also conforms to XHTML
1.1 Transitional specification. No need to use any "Office
Plug-in", since the documents are pure HTML and CSS. Viewable
on almost any web browser and operating system.
