3- How to use the Accessibility Checker in Microsoft Word

Remember:
  1. The built in accessibility checker is not Title II compliant. This is only as a pre-check before using the Ally checker.
  2. Although the videos advise setting the top line with a "Title" style, Ally does not like it. Instead, you will need to use the "Heading 1" (H1) style.
  3. Having color is not a bad thing. Just make sure that there is enough contrast between what is being read and the background.
