One of the most effective ways to improve accessibility is to use headings to structure content. Proper heading structure helps screen readers and keyboard users understand the layout and flow of your content — whether it’s on a webpage or in a document.

How to Apply It:

• On web pages, use headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to organize content. Use only one H1 per page (the title), and nest subtopics logically under H2s and H3s. In Aurora the page title is considered H1!
• In Microsoft Word, apply headings using the “Styles” group on the Home tab. These styles not only format your text but also make your document accessible and easy to convert to HTML or PDF.

Common Ground:

Whether you’re working in Word or WordPress, the principle is the same:

H1 = Main Title
H2 = Section Heading
H3 = Subsection Heading

Avoid skipping heading levels (e.g., jumping from H1 to H4), as this can confuse assistive technologies.
