Files not only have a file name, they may also be described by numerous metadata. These metadata can be read by screen readers and help your students to find/identify the file.

Metadata

Here’s how to enter metadata in MS Word:

---

• File > Information > Properties
• Specify the document name, tags and any comments.
• Make sure that you are listed as the author. This is particularly important if you are not working on your own computer or are not logged in to your account.

---

Please note that the document name you set here will appear as the window or tab name for a PDF converted from the document.

Watermarks

Avoid using watermarks. These make the document difficult to read for people with visual impairments.
