How to create accessible tables in SharePoint

Accessible tables improve usability for everyone, especially those using screen readers. SharePoint includes built-in features to support this: 

  1. Insert a table using the web part editor on your SharePoint page. 
  2. Right-click any cell to open the accessibility menu. 
  3. Add an accessibility title to describe the table’s purpose. 
  4. Specify header rows or columns to help screen readers interpret the structure. 
  5. Avoid merged cells and complex layouts that can confuse assistive technologies. 
  6. Use clear, concise headers and ensure consistent formatting.
