Accessibility Checker

Microsoft Word has a built in accessibility checker.  This tool will indicate all elements of a document that are not accessible and show you how to fix each issue.  To access the accessibility checker in Word click on File > Info > Check for Issues > Check Accessibility. The Accessibility Checker pane will appear on the right side of the screen.  The following videos provide additional assistance with running the checker and correcting errors.
