Advanced Documents and Information Design
Learners rebuild a community garden's handbook the way professionals structure long documents: named styles and a logical heading hierarchy that drive navigation and a generated table of contents, real lists and data tables instead of layout tricks, readable typography and visual hierarchy, and templates, alt text for charts and accessible export so the document works for every reader.

What learners will discover
- Structure a long document with named styles and a logical heading hierarchy so that navigation, a generated table of contents and assistive technology work.
- Choose lists, data tables with header rows, or paragraphs to match the content, avoid layout tables, and keep a logical reading order.
- Apply typography and visual-hierarchy guidelines (size, line length, spacing, alignment, contrast, not color alone) to improve readability.
- Use templates, meaningful alt text (including for charts) and structure-preserving export so a document is accessible after it is shared.
