It is possible to create your own accessible templates from scratch in Word for Mac. Microsoft Word for Mac’s default template for a new documents is a blank page.
If errors are found, please report them to: office documents start with a template, which can be as simple as a blank standard-sized page or as complex as a nearly complete document with text, graphics and other content.
For more information, see Technique 11 or review how to make your Word documents accessible to people with disabilities. Editor’s note: Later versions of Word for Mac include an accessibility checker (for 2016 and later versions).
