The new and improved Accessibility Checker
The name of this tool, the Accessibility Checker, would seem to imply that it should be run at the end of the document design or writing process as a series of final proofing checks.

When you do, although it is highly unlikely you will find any issues in a blank document, you will find some additional helpful accessibility information and settings.

- Click on the top part of the Check Accessibility button.
