Accessibility Podcast #32: Understanding the Accessibility Checker in Microsoft Word. There is so much packed into this podcast that I can hardly believe it myself. Chad and I walk through some of the handouts for our upcoming MS Word Accessibility class on Sept. 29th and we also talk about several key features and steps for making your Word docs accessible.

We also discuss the most common Checker errors you will encounter:

1. Missing Alt-text

2. Image or Object Inline

3. Merged or Split Cells in a table

4. Check the Read Order

5. Hard to Read Text Contrast

6. No Header Row (in your table)
