Real content correctly tagged

Objective

How to implement this technique with axesWord

    Microsoft Word window: A document containing a single paragraph that reads, "This paragraph is real content, therefore it is tagged with a P structure element."

    Note:
    Every content which is entered in the main page area will be correctly tagged by axesWord.
    Content which is entered in the header or footer will be artifacted as default. You can change that by setting the roles Section header or Section trailer with axesWord (see Headers and footers).
  2. Create a PDF with axesWord (see Button "Export PDF").
  3. Done!

How to check this technique with PAC

  2. Check the logical structure tree of the PDF in the Structure elements pane.
    Result: The paragraph is correctly tagged as a P structure element.
    PAC dialog box "Logical Structure": The "Structure elements" tab is open and the P tag is selected. The paragraph is highlighted in the page view.

  2. Don't forget to enter an alternative text in the axesWord - role mapping pane, e.g. "Right arrow" (see Button "Show role mapping").
  3. Done!
