Found under the Review<\/strong> or View<\/strong> Ribbon in most office 365 apps Check Accessibility<\/strong> scans your document to ensure that its content is accessible. Although the accessibility checker can’t check if you have applied your heading styles it will check for missing alt text, contrast and colour issues and more. Once scanned the checker will provide a list of errors, warnings, tips and information on what you need to fix and why. Fixing any issues will ensure your resource is more inclusive. Head over to this site for a full list of the Rules for the Accessibility Checker<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
