Note By default, the Mozilla Firefox browser does not support the use of the TAB key for keyboard shortcuts. For information about turning on support for the TAB key, see Firefox Help.
If you use Windows Internet Explorer, you can view Office Live pages in high-contrast mode to make them easier to read:
For information about viewing pages in high-contrast mode when you are using another Web browser, consult that browser's Help.
Images used on Office Live pages contain Alt tags. When you place your cursor over the image, a text description of the image appears for use with screen readers or other assistive technologies. Alt tags might not be used if they would provide no additional information or would be redundant with other text.
To make Microsoft Office Live Small Business pages easier to navigate by keyboard, you can use access keys to reach specific links in pages. When you use access keys, you press two or more keys simultaneously to highlight the element you want on the page. After you highlight an element, press ENTER to follow the link.
The following access keys are supported in Office Live Small Business:
| Press this | To do this |
|---|---|
| ALT + 1 | Highlight the first link in the top left navigation bar (for example, Home). Press TAB to move to subsequent navigation items. |
| ALT + 2 | Highlight the first link in a side navigation bar if applicable. Subsequent tabs are highlighted in the normal tab order. This access key is not available on all pages. |
| ALT + 4 | Highlight the Help link. Press ENTER to open Help. |
| ALT + 0 | Highlight the Accessibility link in the page footer. Press ENTER to open the link, or press TAB to navigate to other footer links and then to items at the top of the page. |
Note These access keys are designed to work with Internet Explorer 6 and later. Access keys might not function if you are using other Web browsers or earlier versions of Internet Explorer.
You can use keyboard shortcuts in Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta to make it easier to interact with your computer without using your mouse as often.
