How to use the Accessibility Checker in Microsoft Office

• Perhaps obvious if you know how, but as someone who has used Office tools a fair bit over the years, I don’t think I’d ever known about the Accessibility Checker!

  • click on the “Review” tab
  • then the “Check Accessibility” menu trigger
  • then the “Check Accessibility” option
  • It will display accessibility information in a panel on the right
• The article is very light on detail, but I imagine this tool captures issues like text being too small or obscured, and colour contrast issues.
