Summary and tips
Preparation and sharing of files • Always prepare a file that is to be shared
electronically with others : inspect and make adjustments if necessary.
• Passwords (if necessary) to prevent access or restrict editing, to protect it before publishing or sharing it with other people.
• When a document is to be shared with blind or partially sighted people, check it first for accessibility.
• If you are not sure if other people use the same version of Word as you do, check the compatibility of the document with earlier versions. You can also save the document as a PDF.
