Because many organizations, such as government and standards groups, continue to revise their requirements so everyone in their audiences can access information, Microsoft Office 2010 introduces the Accessibility Checker in Microsoft Word 2010, Microsoft Excel 2010, and Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 to help you identify and resolve accessibility issues in your files. Similar to spelling checker alerting you to potential spelling errors, Accessibility Checker alerts you to certain accessibility issues in your file so that you can fix potential problems that might keep someone with a disability from accessing your content. Notes Fixing some issues might require that you change, reformat or otherwise update your content.

There might be issues that you choose not to fix, or which are only intended to be informative.
