I personally thought the Creating Accessible Microsoft Word & WordPerfect Documents by Using Markup on Wisc site was a better write up which is explainable and easier to follow. I might move that one up and make a different overview.

This was a quick, easy read that gave some good basic tips, as well as links to tutorials.

This is a very helpful guide that provides a good understanding of how to use the "Styles" feature for more accessible documents. This is something I plan to use in the future.

I enjoyed the easy steps that were given however, the tutorials that were provided at the end of the document were not able to be accessed.

I like how the resource emphasized the importance of document organization to meet the needs for readers who use AT and how the styles and formatting features can be useful in this way. However, many of the hyperlinks at the end of the resource simply did not work and need to be updated. The addbalance linked resource was able to be accessed.
