Question

One of the many achievements of President George H. W. Bush was signing the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. According to the ADA National Network (Links to an external site.), the "purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else." Because of the law, websites and software must meet specific guidelines to make them accessible to everyone. Microsoft Office has a number of accessibility features.
