The ADA (American with Disabilities Act) Standards state that information technology, which includes web content, must be accessible to people with disabilities. In this class or slice, we will address the basics of accessible web content by creating well-structured and accessible Word documents and Adobe PDFs. We will then use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC's Accessibility Tools to check documents for accessibility and fix problems.

Prerequisite: Some experience with Word.

Conditional Formatting is a way to have Excel apply certain formatting to part or all of your spreadsheet, based on a condition. For example, you may have a spreadsheet set up as a grade book and you would like all of the grades that are below 65 to stand out with a yellow background. Or, you may want to easily find missing data (blank cells) by formatting those cells with a pink background. When values change and no longer meet the criteria, the cells return to their original formatting. We will also see how to set and modify rules for Data Bars and Icon Sets, how to work with dates, and more.

Prerequisite: Some Excel experience.

Tabs are used to align text on the page. Pressing the tab key will advance you to the next default tab stop, but there are different kinds of tab stops available, and they can be placed anywhere on the ruler. We will look at the different kinds of tabs and how to use them. We will learn how to use the indent tool to create different kinds of indents. Indents and Tabs are also part of your bulleted and numbered lists. Working with Bullets and Numbering in Word can be tricky. But you will find it easy to control your lists once you learn a few basics! We will address working with sub-lists; how to add lines without numbers/bullets; and how to change the alignment of numbers/bullets using the tab and indent tools.
