Word documents built for structure—not manual formatting chaos

We remediate Word files so styles, headings, lists, tables, and alternatives support authors, readers, and accessible PDF export.

Situations that bring teams here

  • Manual bold/size used instead of heading styles
  • Tables and lists that break navigation
  • Images without alternatives
  • Exports to PDF that lose structure

What we can evaluate or remediate

Heading and paragraph styles

Lists, links, and reading order

Accessible table patterns

Alternative text guidance

Accessible PDF export prep

Reusable Word templates

Practical outcomes

  • Clearer structure and interaction for people using assistive technology
  • Documented findings your stakeholders can review
  • A scoped path forward instead of open-ended risk language

How we approach this work

  1. Review authoring patterns

    Find where manual formatting creates barriers.

  2. Apply structural styles

    Headings, lists, and tables that survive editing.

  3. Check export paths

    Validate structure before PDF handoff when needed.

  4. Validate and coach

    Findings plus prevention notes for authors.

Validation approach

Word’s Accessibility Checker is a starting point. We still verify styles, tables, alternatives, and export behavior manually where it matters.

Accessibility requirements vary by organization, jurisdiction, content, and use case. UnifyBoard™ provides accessibility evaluation and remediation services, not legal advice or regulatory certification.
