The document title attribute is how the document is identified. It is generally the first thing announced by a screenreader upon opening a document. It is also generally how the screenreader identifies a document when switching between different open applications on a computer.

The title should be succinct, unique, and descriptive of the document. In other words, if a user had multiple documents open, they should be easily able to identify each one from the title.

Note: You can set the title in Word or PowerPoint then use that document to create a PDF. This technique, will satisfy the title requirement in Ally.

1. Click the File tab in Microsoft Word or Office 365 online

2. Click Info from the menu
3. Under the Properties header on the right side of the display is a Title field. Click to enter a title for the document.
4. Save the file.
