Presentation and documents

Tips on making your presentations and documents more accessible and inclusive

Presentations

• Use an accessible font and font size

• Choose simple and clean templates

• Give each slide a unique title

• Use lists when possible and clear, brief text

• Ensure you are consistent with color and design elements

• Use alt-text for images and graphics

Documents

• Always add a title

• Use consistent text styles

• Avoid using merged cells on spreadsheets

• Word is typically better than Google Docs (a compromise is using google docs for collaboration but then downloading into a word document or excel sheet)

• In general, PDFs are not very accessible. If using them, you can run an accessibility test.
