Tables

When using a table within a document:

• Use the simplest table possible.
• Remember that screen readers read from left to right and then from the top to the bottom.
• Describe only the data from tables that needs conveyed to students in the Alt Text.
• If a long description is needed, provide a caption with a description to improve understanding.
• Indicate any title rows.
• Use identifying headers for rows and columns.
• Refer to the Create Accessible Tables in Microsoft Word webpage.
