Word accessibility checker tool

Screenshot showing how to use word accessibility checker tool.

Word has a built-in accessibility checker tool that you can use to fully check your document before converting to a pdf.

To use the tool

  • go to the ‘review’ tab on the top taskbar
  • select ‘check accessibility’

On the right-hand side of the screen, you will see the checker and any issues that it has found with your document.

The checker will guide you through the issues and will tell you how to fix them. Work your way through all issues until it displays the green tick and says ‘No accessibility issues found’.
