This "course" contains updated tagged PDF tutorials with sample documents on how to use Microsoft Word and PowerPoint if you are using adaptive technology. Everything is keyboard command based. If you are a document author, these tutorials will guide you through creating more accessible Word and PowerPoint...and PDF content.
There are a few captioned videos to demonstrate some of the techniques.
The versions of these tutorials for earlier versions of Microsoft 365 and Windows tools and features are still on the Karlen Communications website.
