Accessible forms in MS Excel Presenter: Andrew Downy from Australia Thursday Jan. 12 at 11 Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 Central and 2 Eastern You may have missed the announcements for this valuable Webinar with holidays and a vacation from work. Andrew will be presenting live from Australia Andrew will begin with a brief introduction to Excel and will give some examples of when it is appropriate to use it as a form. He will then demonstrate some techniques for reducing confusion when using Excel with a screen reader including naming worksheets and hiding unnecessary cells. Participants will then be taken through the process of defining column and row headings. This becomes crucial for screen reader access when spreadsheets grow in size and/or complexity. An important option when setting up an Excel form is defining rules for what may be entered into a cell. This facility will be demonstrated, with specific suggestions to improve clarity for screen reader users. Other Excell features to be covered include: · Using comments to improve clarity; · The potentially tricky locking of cells; · · An introduction to Excel formulae You can obtain the sample form from: http://easi.cc/archive/andrew2017/sample-form.xlsx You can register from the EASI Webinar promo page: http://easi.cc/clinic.htm#january _____ You received this email because you are subscribed to the Equal Access to Software & Information: (distribution list) (EASI) mailing list.
