[Njtechdiv] accessible formatting of documents

[Brian Mackey]

Okay.

 

If you want to make text a heading level, do the following:

1. Highlight the text

2. Press ALT+H to open the Home tab

3. Press L to open the Styles drop-down menu

4. Press the left or right arrows until you find the style you want (such as
heading 1, heading 2, heading 3, etc.)

 

My best technique so far in regards to adding ALT text to pictures in Word
is the following:

1. Locate my cursor with my handheld Ruby magnifier

2. Move the cursor to where the picture is located

3. Right click on the picture

4. Arrow up or down until you hear "Format Image" or something along those
lines

5. Press CTRL+TAB until you hear ALT text

6. Press the TAB key once to get into the edit field

7. Type what you want as your ALT text

8. Press the TAB key until you hear "OK" and press ENTER

 

Someone might have a better suggestion for formatting pictures with ALT
text. Or there might not be a better one until the general release of JAWS
18.

Dear Trish,

 

What type of documents are you referring to? Maybe that will help determine
what material to provide.

 

Sincerely,
