4.1 Word/PowerPoint 365

• Use the inbuilt Accessibility Checker and information on e.g. Making your Word documents accessible
• Write all mathematical text written using the MS 365 equation editor. E.g. if you are writing about the variable \(x\) or \(\theta\) it should be written as an equation. If you are writing \(x^2\) it should be written as an equation.
  • Never use insert symbol.
  • Never write superscripts, subscripts, fractions etc. using font or style changes and standard keyboard input alone
  • Never use an image of an equation.
• Use Review -> Read Aloud (Alt + Ctrl + Space) to check the maths
