Test your publications with a screen reader
Get the NVDA portable version on the p drive at P:\@Common Division Files\Accessibility\NVDA. Find the Windows built in screen reader (Narrator) in your Accessories under Ease of Access.
For use at your desk, try these one page printable cheatsheets from the National Center on Disability and Access to Education. If you do nothing else, print the Microsoft Word cheatsheet now.
Use headings, rather then merely changing font size, to emphasize different document sections. Screen readers can jump from heading to heading.
When you insert screenshots to explain how to do something (like download an ebook), include detailed written instructions, in addition to your alt text, for screen readers.
Use a color contrast checker and accessibility tool to test the accessibility of your page.
