Web Accessibility Guidelines Office of Web Services Updated December 2016
Guidelines Use heading styles in a semantic structure Avoid entering paragraph returns that have a heading style applied to them Every image must have an Alt attribute Avoid copying and pasting directly from Word. Use the Paste as Text button when you do.
Guidelines Heading styles create sections and subsections. These should not be used for design. Headings should be properly nested (Heading 2, 3, 4, etc.) Screen readers require an ALT attribute.
Guidelines Pasting directly from Word brings Microsoft code that can cause numerous problems. Avoid using ALL CAPS in your content. Screen readers may mistake this as an acronym instead of a word.
