Greetings,
Has anyone prepared guidelines or instructional material on how to format email in Office 2016 or Office 365 for accessibility and/or Section 508-conformance, that you could share? If not, does anyone have such guidance for an earlier version of Outlook mail that would be conducive to revision and updating?
I have found Seven Simple Steps To Create An Accessible Email In Outlook 2013 (http://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/administration/adminandfinance/human/Training/emailaccessibility.htm), as well as Creating Accessible Microsoft Outlook 2010 Emails (US Dep't of Commerce) http://osec.doc.gov/Accessibility/Creating_Accessible_Microsoft_Outlook%20_010_%20Emails.html. This is linked to a very good training video at Creating Accessible Microsoft Outlook 2010 Emails (TX Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities) https://youtu.be/1erW3U7uE8w
What we would like to find is guidance more a more current version of Microsoft Outlook.
Thanks in advance,
Gary

what if the first question we asked was, "what is so unique about this situation that it justifies exclusion? instead of, "how much does it cost to make it accessible?
