<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">Morning!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">I’m updating my Microsoft Word from the Keyboard book and discovered a new preview tool in Word…and probably in other applications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">If you add a graphic with no Alt Text, instead of the anchor appearing to the upper left of the graphic, a small accessibility symbol appears. If you hover the mouse over it, you’ll
see that the graphic has an accessibility issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">If you go to File, Options, Accessibility, there is a new check box in the first category of settings. It is to help me create more accessible content or something to that effect
and it is a preview. I’m on the insider beta channel so don’t panic if you don’t see it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">This is not usable by those of us using a screen reader, however, when we land on a graphic with no Alt Text, we just hear the dimensions…and we can find graphics with no Alt Text
by using the Accessibility Checker.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">One other recently added thing is that the band across the bottom of graphics you’ve just added now has an Approve or Edit button. The tools have text that is read to those of
us using screen readers that says to Open the Alt Text Pane and it gives a keyboard command to quickly add the Alt Text. It says to use Shift + F1 then choose A for View Alt Text. You can also use the AppKey to get the context menu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:#1F3864">Cheers, Karen<o:p></o:p></span></p>
