• FG338 - Universal Document Accessibility Workshop

Description

In this workshop, we will go over how to make Excel spreadsheets accessible. We will cover the following:

• Using accessible templates.
• Accessible blank cells, empty columns/rows.
• Accessible sheet names.
• Accessibility for merged or split cells.
• Accessible “bookmarks” (name cells and ranges).
• Giving description of document layout in cell A1.
• Using Input Messages.

Workshop 1 is a recommended pre-requisite for this session. Workshop 1 is critical to staff understanding accessibility, and how their everyday actions affect people with different accommodation needs in a positive, or negative, way.

Please put a placeholder in your calendar. You will be sent a calendar invitation 1 week before the event.

** Accessibility note:

 All trainings are divided into 2 parts: pre-recorded (that we will watch as a group), and interactive.

We have sign language interpretation for the pre-recorded part, but not for the interactive session after. Please connect with the Workplace Wellness Service Centre if you wish to request sign language services for break-out rooms.
