<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15">Hi all –<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15">Bottom line: could someone direct me to a good resource on creating a long policy handbook in MS Word that is accessible – one that uses traditional outline structure such
as the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15">I. First main topic<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15"> A. First subtopic<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15"> B. Second subtopic<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15">II. Second main topic<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15">More details:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15">In general, I know how to use Word Styles, so I’m not asking for basic info on Word Styles. I’m having trouble getting outline levels to work properly in Word Styles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#050C15">In the Paragraph section of Word’s Home tab, there are some multilevel list options, which include heading styles that follow an outline structure. However, the preformatted
options in the List Library all tag the highest level of an outline (such as a Roman numeral) as Heading 1, the next highest level (such as an uppercase letter) as Heading 2, etc. But in my current understanding of best practices for accessibility in Word
docs, it’s better to use Heading 1 for the document title on the first page of text – which would mean that the highest level of an outline (Roman numerals or whatever) should be Heading 2, and so on. While it’s possible to create a new multilevel list type
in Word, I haven’t succeeded in creating one that actually works in the handbook I’m trying to remediate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
