(Note this is the first Webinar in a 2-part series. Part 2 will be on

Description:
People who use tables in Microsoft Word or ranges in Microsoft Excel on a 
regular basis know how quickly one can get lost in the maze of rows and 
columns without the use of row and column titles.
Learn to use the bookmark feature in Word and the naming function in Excel 
to create built-in column and row header names for a cell or a range of 
cells. JAWS looks for certain specific names to identify which cells 
contain row and column titles. If the titles are defined in this fashion, 
the information is stored right in the document rather than in a JAWS file 
and can be used to speak the title information to anyone using JAWS 6.1 or 
later. Furthermore, anyone can build these row and column names into a 
table or range without even having JAWS installed.

Learn some easily applied principles that increase the accessibility of 
documents you create. In addition, learn how users can more easily access 
information by knowing helpful features in their adaptive technology.
NOTE: This webinar will be approximately one and a half hours in length (90 
minutes) to allow time for interactive practice. Participants will be given 
the opportunity to switch away from the presentation room (while still 
listening to the instructor) to use sample practice documents that will be 
provided in advance. The practice documents open in Microsoft Word and in 
Microsoft Excel.
