Implementing Accessibility in Spreadsheets for Property Managers

In this course, author and Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA shows you how you can make spreadsheets accessible for users relying on assistive technology. Doing so actually makes spreadsheets more accessible for ALL users. David will discuss features such as the Navigation task pane, Excel’s Accessibility Checker feature, and design strategies such as alternatives to using merged cells. David will also cover other ways that you can avoid inadvertently storing information in an inaccessible fashion.

David is the author of Exploring Microsoft Excel’s Hidden Treasures: Turbocharge your Excel proficiency with expert tips, automation techniques, and overlooked features. He demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Excel for Microsoft 365. David draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2021, 2019 or 2016 during the presentation and in his detailed handouts. The handouts include an Excel workbook with most of the examples he uses during his demonstrations.

Excel for Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that receives periodic feature updates. Conversely, perpetually licensed versions have year numbers in their names and do not receive any feature updates.
