Biweekly Accessibility Tips

Dear Colleagues,

Learn how to make your graphs and tables accessible with the Graphs and Tables Tip Sheet.

This tip sheet includes:

  • Graphs
    • Describing graphs with alt text, image descriptions, and tables
    • Using color accessibly with color contrast and distinction without color tip sheets
  • Tables
    • Guidelines for accessible tables
    • Creating accessible tables in Microsoft 365
    • Using color accessibly with color contrast and distinction without color tip sheets

Along with this tip sheet, I have also updated the Distinction without Color Tip Sheet.
