Mapping Custom Style in MS Word and Adobe InDesign

28 Mar 2023

Description

Should certifications be hard? Chad and I discuss Karl Groves' recent article that discusses the question and why we agree. Chad and I discuss another great question: "Do links always need alt-text?" We take a look at what WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose says and whether it supports, or doesn't support the idea that hyperlinks always need alt-text. You have to listen to Dax's analogy as he compares an insole and a shoe to an annotation and the link text. Listen to the What do you think? Did you know that when you apply alt-text to a link the descriptive text replaces the URL? It fundamentally acts like Actual text and does not voice the visually available text. So you need to be careful about what you use as a description. Be sure to tune in to hear Chad walk through how to map new styles in MS Word to accessible heading styles and even how to properly map the existing Title style to an H1. He continues to drop serious knowledge when he talks about what not to name your styles in Adobe InDesign.
