PowerPoint slides with better reading order: In accessible PowerPoint templates, we have improved the reading order for slide content by making it logical for user actions. Moreover, each slide in the accessible template contains a unique title wherein a user can enter the title of his choice. For example, the reading order was- Title, Content and Picture which has been changed to Title, Picture and Content.
Earlier, the title in a slide was ‘Click to add tile’ and now it says, “Add a Slide Title – 1.”. Hyperlink information: Mostly, users don’t find clear and accurate information about the hyperlinks inserted in a document, spreadsheet or presentation. The accessible templates include appropriate description about the hyperlinks. For example, click here hyperlink is not helpful to a user who cannot see the link. Consequently, we use full title of the destination page, e.g. Visit Microsoft OneNote - Official Site, which comes with screen tips. Headings in logical format: Our users need headings ordered logically.
The accessible templates provide headings in a rational order, such as Heading 1, Heading 2, and then Heading 3, instead of presenting these in a random way. Ideally, the headings should not have names that are “too long”. Content controls with titles and tags: Our latest Word templates use Rich Text Content Controls with values in both Titles and Tags for the screen readers to read out the editable text. This way, users can easily enter the text of a heading in an area identified for it. Evergreen date: There is no relevance of information that is too old to be used. That’s why, we introduced the feature of Evergreen Date.
Now, whenever the users open an Accessible spreadsheet, they hear the current date (Today), instead of the date when the template was created.
