Keyboard shortcuts and other resources
Many accessibility features are built into Outlook on the web (webmail) and Microsoft Outlook. These features are described in the following Microsoft documents:
- Microsoft accessibility
- Keyboard shortcuts in Outlook on the web
- Keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Outlook 2013 and 2016
- Turn on accessibility options in Office for Mac
Accessibility for blind or low vision users
The light version of Outlook on the web is optimized for accessibility, including for users who are blind or who have low vision. The light version provides fewer features than the regular version and is sometimes faster.
To switch to the light version:
- Open the Settings menu by clicking the gear icon.
- Navigate to Options > General > Light version.
- Select Use the light version of Outlook on the web.
- Click Save.
