Word documents are easy to create and allow you to easily format content for accessibility. Before sharing content in Word document format, consider if it is the most appropriate and accessible format in which to share content with your readers. For example, Word documents require additional software and may require readers to download the content to view it. Presenting content on an accessibly formatted webpage or course page (e.g., Webcourses@UCF) may present fewer barriers as compared to a Word document. However, there are times that a Word document is the preferred format (e.g., a worksheet or project charter that someone needs to complete). If you determine that a Word document is the most appropriate format for your content, follow the best practice below to ensure you create accessible documents.<\/p>\n
