Tables Summary

---

Congratulations! 

You just completed the Tables Module! Here are some brief summary points:

• Keep your tables simple: no nested tables or merged cells.
• Use logical labels for the header cells to organize your columns and/or rows.
• Use "Repeat Header Rows" from Table Layout tools to define header cells (even if the table will never span across pages).
• Always ensure your table header cells transfer to exported documents you create from your MS Word doc.
• Table Caption and Summary are optional elements you can use in other formats like PDF and HTML, but not MS Word.

 

• Explain how screen-readers interpret tables without accessible formatting?
• Identify the steps required to create an accessible table in Microsoft Word? 
• Design an accessible table in Microsoft word? 

Before you continue to the next module, make sure you answer the questions above! If you need additional support on any of the bullet points above revisit this module.
