Accessibility in Microsoft Office 365 

Microsoft adheres to the accessibility standards of WCAG 2.1 and Section 508. All applications and tools in the Microsoft Office 365 suite are routinely tested for accessibility compliance through Microsoft’s accessibility testing program. As a part of these ongoing assessments, assistive technology is used to complete tasks in Microsoft Office 365 applications to measure effectiveness and usability. The core of Microsoft Office 365 offers many key accessibility features and compatibility with assistive technology.  

Accessibility Checker 

An accessibility checker is built into various Microsoft Office 365 applications, which include Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. It is recommended to use this tool to verify that your emails and documents are accessible prior to sharing with others. If any issues are present that would prevent someone from effectively viewing your message or document, you will be prompted to make suggested changes through the checker. The accessibility checker can be found in the software applications for Mac and PC, as well as within the web-based versions of the programs.  

Keyboard Shortcuts 

Office 365 applications are compatible with an extensive series of keyboard shortcuts that can be used to navigate through tools in the suite. For a comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts per application in Microsoft Office 365, visit Microsoft’s keyboard shortcut articles.  

Screen Readers 

Microsoft Office 365 is fully compatible with various screen readers. Applications in the suite are fully supported and optimized with Narrator, the screen reading application that is built into Windows 11. Microsoft Office 365 applications can also be used with VoiceOver, the screen reading tool built into Mac and iOS devices. Android devices can also use TalkBack as a ScreenReader with Microsoft Office365. 

Invert Colors 

Applications within Microsoft Office 365 are responsive to changes in color contrast, as well as color inversion. This can increase the visibility and clarity of words and screen contents, as well as limit strain placed on eyes.
