A document that looks structured on screen can have no headings at all, and screen-reader navigation proves it.
Turn bold paragraphs, restyle minutes, document count, and a per-document check into a batch of hours.
Anyone preparing Word documents for a screen reader, a portal, or a public website.
Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.
Count the paragraphs that act as headings but carry only bold formatting.
Apply the heading style, check the level, and confirm the outline view.
Count the files in the batch, not the number of sections.
Use a few minutes per file for the outline view and the navigation pane.
The App adds restyle and check minutes and converts the total to hours and working days.
Forty bold paragraphs at two minutes each plus six documents at five minutes is 110 minutes, or 1.83 hours.
Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.
Two batches. Both are examples.
Both cases are examples, not records about a real person. The bars show the same numbers the free App computes.
