This video will

00:00:07.354 --> 00:00:10.240
guide you through the process
of making hyperlinks

00:00:10.473 --> 00:00:12.521
accessible in your Word document.

00:00:13.778 --> 00:00:17.455
I have here a document
with some instructions

00:00:17.455 --> 00:00:20.155
and then with two links
at the bottom of the page.

00:00:21.737 --> 00:00:23.692
First of all, let's hear how JAWS

00:00:23.692 --> 00:00:25.694
would read those two links.

00:00:26.858 --> 00:00:30.721
JAWS: HTTPS slash slash 
accessibility manual dot

00:00:30.721 --> 00:00:33.654
DWP dot gov dot UK slash.

00:00:33.793 --> 00:00:39.565
Link https slash slash w w w dot bbc.co.uk

00:00:39.565 --> 00:00:43.801
slash programme
slash p 007 TRGM slash clips.

00:00:44.872 --> 00:00:47.292
NICKI: Now we're going to make some changes
to these links.

00:00:47.944 --> 00:00:50.644
So first of all,
let's have a look at this one.

00:00:50.690 --> 00:00:54.042
This is a link to the DWP
Accessibility Manual.

00:00:54.973 --> 00:00:57.440
So I'm going to right click on the link

00:00:57.765 --> 00:01:00.651
and edit hyperlink.

00:01:01.117 --> 00:01:03.072
The problem with this

00:01:03.072 --> 00:01:08.425
is that the text displayed on
the page is not meaningful text,

00:01:10.008 --> 00:01:12.149
so I'm
going to give it some meaningful text.

00:01:13.545 --> 00:01:17.548
That meaningful text must go in the 
text to display box,

00:01:24.344 --> 00:01:27.230
but the address, in the address field

00:01:27.928 --> 00:01:32.351
must be the URL or the website address
that you want the user to go to.

00:01:33.188 --> 00:01:35.981
So we have meaningful text
at the top and the URL

00:01:35.981 --> 00:01:39.333
at the bottom. 
I'll click OK.

00:01:39.333 --> 00:01:41.381
And you may have noticed that it changed

00:01:41.381 --> 00:01:43.941
the text on the page
so that that is now meaningful.

00:01:44.732 --> 00:01:49.573
Some websites have URLs that have long
strings of numbers and letters in them,

00:01:49.806 --> 00:01:52.785
and this is even more difficult
to listen to using a screen reader.

00:01:53.111 --> 00:01:55.485
So this one is more important to fix.

00:01:55.485 --> 00:02:00.047
Let's edit
the hyperlink and in the text to display,

00:02:00.047 --> 00:02:03.258
I'm going to put BBC Accessibility Videos

00:02:06.191 --> 00:02:07.727
and then click OK.

00:02:07.727 --> 00:02:10.520
And again, you can see that
it has now changed that name

00:02:10.892 --> 00:02:13.778
and so that the meaningful text on
the page is OK.

00:02:15.407 --> 00:02:18.293
Now let's hear
how these two links are read by JAWS.

00:02:19.131 --> 00:02:22.529
JAWS: Level zero link

00:02:22.669 --> 00:02:25.322
