Accessibility in Word: Lists
It is recommended to use the built-in numbered or bulleted list options when creating lists in your Word document, rather than manually typing symbols that resemble bullet points. This approach ensures proper structure and accessibility for screen reader users.
Bulleted lists are ideal when the order of items is not important, while numbered lists are better suited for situations where the sequence of items matters, such as for step-by-step instructions.
Best Practices for the Lists :
To use Lists
Highlight the text you want to turn into a list.
Click on "Bullets" (for unordered lists) or "Numbering" (for ordered lists).
