Styles in Word: A Primer for Accessible Document Design
This is a 10 hour, self-paced online course.
This online course is the equivalent of 10 hours of training on how to create more accessible Word documents. Although Office 365/Office 2016 is used for the training, the tools are available in previous versions of Word. This course includes a copy of the book "Styles in Word: A Primer for Accessible Document Design" and sample documents as well as documents you can work on. There are about 65 short videos covering all of the topics in the book as well as material I just can't fit into a regular 6 hour face to face workshop.
