- [Instructor] Before you send an email,
run the Accessibility Checker
to make sure that your content
is easy for all of your recipients to view.
The Accessibility Checker is available
not just here in Outlook
but in other Microsoft Office applications, like Word,
so you may already know it from there.
When I'm in a message form like this,
I have Check Accessibility easily available to me.
Simply click Options.
Check Accessibility is found in Proofing.
And I click and it says I have a problem.
Inline images, like the image here,
must have alt text because it's used by screen readers.
There's a link right here that lets me fix this.
If I click Fix This, Add Alternate Text.
And this is an image of solar panels and a sunflower.
Okay.
I don't have to mark up that that's alt text
because the Accessibility Checker
is doing that for me when I fix it.
You don't even see the alt text,
but it exists.
And if I want to check that it's there,
I can right click the image,
choose Add Alternative Text,
and here it is.
As with a hyperlink, this is just one extra step
to make the documents and messages
that we're sharing with people
more accessible to everyone.
