Accessible Excel Files
In short, when Microsoft Excel files are created for their intended purpose — data presentation and manipulation — they are innately accessible for users of assistive technology.
See the following statements from Microsoft about accessibility and Excel:
- Our journey to make Excel work well for everyone
- Make your Excel documents accessible to people with disabilities
- Screen reader support for Excel
