You can use the program to create projects published to a Web-based format (HTML, CourseMill, SCORM/Web-based, AICC/Web-based) that comply with the standards set in Section 508 - 1194.22 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These standards govern the requirements that must be met to enable Web-based content to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. View information about these standards at http://www.section508.gov and http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/.
You can designate a project to use Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 settings to prepare it for publishing. This option sets default 508 and WCAG settings but does not guarantee that project will be 508- or WCAG 2.0-compliant. For details about 508-compliant projects, see Creating Web-based, accessible content (Section 508/WCAG).

The option for custom radio buttons and check boxes are disabled. For details, see Customizing radio buttons and Customizing check boxes.
The option for Lightbox-style for pop-up windows is not set and disabled. For details, see Executing Go To actions.
