a Collection of Microsoft Office Accessibility Learning Resources for Screen Reader Users

What follows is a collection of resources for learning how to use Microsoft Office products with a screen reader.

Source providers are listed using level 2 headings. Each individual resource is listed at a level 3 heading. This was done to make it easier for screen reader navigation.

More resources will be added to this list as I discover them. As more resources are added to the list of ACB Community Calls they will be eventually added to this page. Please reach out to me if you have suggestions for resources which should be added.
