      How about using styles to add structural markup to your document? It makes the document more accessible, and can be easily imported into a web page or InDesign.

        I agree. Also adding Alt-text to images improves accessibility, and MS Word has a built-in document accessibility checker: File>Prepare for Sharing>Check for Issues>Check Accessibility.

      O líder deve ter plena convicção do seu mandato .Deve sentir se livre para pensar e planejar o seu trabalho e o que será cobrado de seus comandados. Liderar não é complicar ou tornar uma ação desconfortável e sim ,de confiança valorizada. A boa liderança e aquela compartilhada nos momentos de sucesso e também nos fracassos ,porque assim será encontrado uma solução para todos outros fracassos que possa ocorrer.
