Large Print Conversions using MS Word

The Process of Large Print Conversions Using MS Word with SPGS

SPGS simplifies the large print conversion process, using Microsoft Word to make materials more accessible for individuals with low vision. Below is an overview of how SPGS enhances document readability using this widely used software:

Font Size Adjustment: Adjusting the font size is a crucial step in large print conversions. SPGS professionals expertly increase font sizes to 16 points or above to ensure optimal readability. While this may seem straightforward, SPGS ensures that each document is precisely formatted, taking readability and page layout into account.

Choosing a Clear Typeface: Selecting the right typeface is vital for large print documents. SPGS consistently chooses sans-serif fonts like Arial, Verdana, or Tahoma for their clarity. With Word’s font options, SPGS selects the most appropriate typeface to cater to the specific needs of your audience, creating a document that balances readability with aesthetics.

Line Spacing and Paragraph Adjustments: To enhance readability, SPGS adjusts line spacing to ensure enough white space between lines. This fine-tuning includes increasing the spacing to 1.5 or double-spacing to ensure clarity for visually impaired readers. Additionally, SPGS ensures paragraph alignment and spacing consistency throughout the document, so it’s as visually appealing as it is readable.

Optimizing Margins and Layout: Large print conversions require more than just increasing font sizes. SPGS optimizes page layouts by adjusting margins to maintain a clean, balanced design. This ensures that enlarged text fits perfectly without overcrowding the document, while maintaining a professional look.

Adding Descriptive Headers and Footers: To improve document navigation, SPGS utilizes Word’s ability to add headers and footers. By incorporating clear labels, page numbers, and titles, SPGS makes sure the large print document is easy to follow, especially for lengthier texts or forms.

Converting Graphics and Tables: Images and tables are common in documents, and when converting these elements, SPGS ensures that they are resized and reformatted to remain accessible. Using Word’s features, SPGS resizes images without losing clarity and adjusts tables to fit larger text, delivering content that is not only readable but visually consistent.

Ensuring Compatibility with Assistive Technology: SPGS enhances the accessibility of your documents by utilizing Microsoft Word’s integration with assistive technologies like screen readers and text-to-speech software. The company ensures that each document is thoroughly tested using Word’s built-in accessibility checker, guaranteeing that headings, alt text, and other essential features are in place for users relying on assistive technology.
