Microsoft Word adds some new techniques for tagging table headers along with the traditional method of tagging table headers. Occasionally, both methods are required. Watch this video to learn how.
- [Instructor] The latest version of Word 2016…adds some new functionality to tables…that makes thing a little bit easier…than they used to be when it comes…to properly tagging tables for PDF accessibility.…Now, I've discovered that in certain enterprise versions…of Word 2016, in my case it was the Professional Plus…version, this functionality did not work.…So, if you're in that situation, don't worry.…I'm going to show you the older tried and true method as well.…Now, I'm beginning this video with the tables word document…open on my computer, and I'm going to scroll down…to the tables that I have in this document,…and I want to point out that, when I built this document,…each one of these tables is it's own table.…
Originally, some people might want to…build this as one big table.…That becomes difficult to remediate…because we have header cells halfway down in the table.…So, it makes it much easier if you…break them apart into individual tables.…Now, I'm going to start by selecting this table,…and the new functionality that I'm referring to…
