Accessibility features in FrontPage

Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 features a new accessibility checker for Web pages. By running the accessibility checker, you discover issues that are identified as being in conflict with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) (World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): A consortium of commercial and educational institutions that oversees research and promotes standards in all areas related to the World Wide Web.) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) or the accessibility guidelines for Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act. WCAG outlines priorities for making Web sites accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 outlines the U.S. government accessibility standards for a wide range of information sources and technologies. For more information about the FrontPage accessibility checker features, see FrontPage Help.
