Most documents at the college are created in or start development in Microsoft Word. Please visit the Google Docs pages for documents created in Google Docs. 

Rules to follow when creating documents in Microsoft Word

1. Ensure that all documents use semantic heading styles.
2. For long documents, insert or generate a table of contents based on Heading styles.
3. When inserting images or charts, be sure to add ALT tags or a description of the image for screenreaders.
4. Use the list tool instead of the bullet character (don't use "*" or ""). Numbered lists with multiple levels should use different numbering schemes on each level
5. When inserting a data table, make sure the first row/column is marked as a header and includes a description of the type of data used in each row or column.
6. For links, avoid using link text such as “Here” or “Click for more.” Instead make sure link destinations are clear outside the context.
7. Avoid tools that do not create accessible documents
