Microsoft ® Word Templates and Accessibility

1 What is a Word template? File with a.dot (document template) extension Can define the following:  Paragraph and character styles  Page layout, including headers and footers  “Boiler plate” text Stored (by default) in C:\Documents and Settings\ username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\ in Windows XP Most Word users use the Normal.dot template and the Normal style. They format their documents “on the fly,” and any changes require updates throughout the entire document.

2 Why use a Word template? Format settings are stored in one file, similar to a Cascading Stylesheet (.css file) for a website. Changing a style in a template can update all text that uses that style throughout a Word document. Use of heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.):  Gives your document structure (outline mode, PDF bookmarks, screen reader).  Translates to equivalent tags in TeamSite XML chunks.  Allows you to create a table of contents for your document.

3 Some standard paragraph styles Normal Body Text Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 Header and Footer Title and Subtitle List Bullet, List Bullet 2 List Number, List Number 2 List Continue, List Continue 2 TOC 1, TOC 2, TOC 3

4 How do I “install” a Word template? 1.Using Explore, locate the Templates folder, typically C:\Documents and Settings\username\ Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. 2.Copy the template (.dot) file to that folder, or create a subfolder or subfolders to organize your personal Word templates.

5 How do I attach a template to my Word document? Note: In the Tools menu, Options, File Locations tab, be sure that the User Templates location specifies the location of your templates. 1. From the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-ins…. 2. In the Templates tab, click Attach. 3. Locate the template that you want to use, and click Open.

6 How do I apply styles to my document? 1.From the View menu (in Word), click Toolbars and then Formatting to display the Formatting toolbar in Word. The Style menu is at the far left of the Formatting toolbar. 2.Click in the text where you want to apply a paragraph style. 3.Open the Style menu by clicking the down arrow at the right, and select the style.

7 How do I simplify or customize the Style menu? 1.From the Formatting menu, click Styles and Formatting. All styles are listed in the task pane. 2.In the Show pull-down menu at the bottom of the task pane, choose Customize. 3.Check the styles that you want to appear in the Style menu. 4.Uncheck Other formatting options. 5.Check Save Settings in Template.

8 How do I modify a style in a template? 1.From the Formatting menu, click Styles and Formatting. All styles are listed in the task pane. 2.Position your cursor over a style in the task pane. Click the down arrow that is displayed to the far right of the style name. 3.Click Modify. 4.Make changes, check Add to template, and click OK.

9 What else can I do for accessibility? (Adding alternative text to images) An accessibility requirement for all file formats is text equivalents (“alt-text”) for images. By adding alternative text in Word, this information survives document revisions and conversions. To add alt-text to an image in Word: 1. Right-click the image, and click Format Picture -or- Double-click the image. 2. Click the Web tab, and enter alternative text that describes the image in the text box.

10 Word-to-PDF conversion Conversion to PDF from Word produces tagged and accessible* documents when the Word document: Has structure (headings) Uses standard styles (list styles, for example) Has alternative text for images Has a simple format (no images in headers and footers, for example) Most important is that you don’t lose your accessibility tagging and settings with every revision of the source document. * You need to specify a language from Adobe Acrobat to pass the full accessibility check.

11 How do I specify the language in a PDF? You must define the default language reading option in Adobe Acrobat. To specify the language: 1. In Adobe Acrobat, from the File menu, click Document Properties. 2. Click the Advanced tab. 3. In the Language menu, choose English US.
