 +<note tip>After you have completed your work, you can run the built in Accessibility Checker for MS Word. This can help you find any mistakes you may have made. Be aware: it flags somethings are wrong, when they are correct, and does not catch all the issues. It is fairly robust, and can assist you as a final check before you pass a ticket back for review. Here is a quick demo on [[https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c3iiYpV0aZh|How to Use the Accessibility Checker in MS Word]]. If you have any questions, ask in the [[public:nnels:etext:q_a|Production Q&A]]!</note>
 +
 +<note tip>Spacing is also important for accessibility. Ensure that you remove:
 +  * TAB characters used to provide indentation
 +  * Multiple Paragraph ‘Return’ characters (¶) used to provide spacing between paragraphs
 +  * Newline breaks (↵)
 +  * Multiple SPACE characters
 +
 +If any of this exists in the document, then it is not properly formatted with styles. You will need to remove these spaces. See [[public:nnels:etext:find-and-replace|Find & Replace]] for more instructions.
