When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.
@A11yAwareness It will also allow you to add in a Table of Contents with no additional work. @troypatterson
@AlliFlowers srsly I don't understand people who change individual formatting instead of using headers. They'd really rather make tables of contents manually and hunt through every faux-header to fix one (1) formatting change than learn to use the magic of technology that will do it all for them!
Or more likely, fob off that busywork to a more junior person *cries in 10 years of fixing academic documents* @A11yAwareness @troypatterson
@ljwrites The year after I completed my dissertation, I spend endless hours helping classmates who had neglected my initial advice on using the APA template the MS had so thoughtfully provided. @A11yAwareness @troypatterson
@ljwrites Holy shit! By hand?! I used PERRLA. I can’t imagine doing it all by hand.
@AlliFlowers ikr?? Feels unfair that we earned the same degree, she should get at least 50% more accolades for sheer pain.
@ljwrites 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@AlliFlowers I could not have done my thesis without Zotero's citation manager. I'd have ragequit. I know someone who did her references by hand and took three days fixing them 😱
