WORD (Microsoft Word Document)
A Microsoft Word Document is where AIM-VA production staff fully structure printed materials in electronic files with accessibility features. Word files are optimized using features such as the Microsoft sans serif typeface; alternate text to describe pictures and graphics, document navigation and active hyperlinks. Word files are used to create AIM-VA Fully-Accessible PDFs and ePubs.
Note: Due to special character limitations, some math, science, and music texts are not available.
