MS Office Case Study

A typical organisation (including universities):

  • Has significant investment in Microsoft Office products
  • Has conservative users who typically won't appreciate new tools being forced on them

In MS Word / PowerPoint:

  • How many users will know how to add ALT text to images?
  • How many would use this option if they knew about it?

Typical Problems

If PowerPoint presentations are held on the Web primarily for file delivery with little expectation of use by others should (a) effort be spend on ALT tags, (b) do as at present or (c) remove files from Web site?
