Adding a Title to your Document

Titles provide assistive technology with a label for the entire document.  This label is the first data read by a screen reader when the document opens and provides the user with topical context for the entire document.

The best time to add a title to your document is when you first save your work.  To add a title, please do the following (the image below can help with visual reference):

1. Open the file menu
2. Select info and find the properties list
3. Add a title into the title field
