PDF exports missing table tags
I've started noticing this problem with multiple documents exported to PDF from Word. The issue is that the accessibility tags for the table content are <P> instead of <TH>, <TD>, etc. I was able to replicate the problem myself, using a Save as... method that retains accessibility features in the PDF. In other words, the PDF has bookmarked headings, alt-text for images, and so forth. It's just that some of the tables are tagged as regular text, though they are formatted as tables with header rows in the original Word document. I asked this question to a few colleagues, and one suggested that the table border settings might be causing the problem. Indeed, when I changed the cell borders from "none" to black, the PDF did show table tags. As you are probably aware, this is not a workable solution in academia, where style guides often have strict requirements for table design, including no vertical cell borders. One thing that worked was adding white borders--the table with white borders exported properly to PDF. Unfortunately, adding white vertical borders makes the black horizontal borders look like dashed lines (also, it is going to make a ton of work for the document creators). I would be so grateful for any ideas on how to solve this.KiloIndiaTangoJul 13, 2025Copper Contributor60Views0likes2CommentsWord App on Mac
Hello. PLEASE help with three issues. I've created a trifold brochure form scratch and cannot seem to do three things: 1. Add a second page to the document. If I cut an paste, or simple add an additional text box to create 3 more panels for page two, it will only layer them on top of the page one column. 2. When adding things to the footer, I can tell that something has been typed because there is something to highlight, however, it is white so you cannot actually see it. How do I make the text a color? 3. I want to insert a frame/border around the entire content of one of the panes and will only create separate panels for each section. PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you!

I'm trying to do something that I can't figure out how to do, I'm not even sure it's even possible. I'm trying to split the alignment on a single line so that a few words are left aligned and then a few words are right aligned, leaving a large gap in between. I have it set up right now with tabs, but the second set of words on the right-hand side are a different length and does not have the effect that's needed for the document. There are numerous lines that have this formatting and even thinking about the time required to set up customized tabs and spacing for each individual line threatens to give me an anxiety attack. Is there a way to split the alignment on a single line and I'm just missing how? Thank you in advance!marcodelJul 12, 2025Copper Contributor221KViews0likes14CommentsWord 365 Comment - won't take Dragon dictation

I am using Microsoft Office 365 on a 2021 iMac M1 computer with 16 GB MEMORY running Sonoma 14.5. I have received a warning message that the MathType addon is not installed. When I try to install it, the Install Addons option is greyed out. I spent about 45 minutes with Microsoft Word support, and they did not know how to fix it, and referred me here. I have reinstalled Office 365 twice and that has not fixed the problem. Help me, please, if anyone can.

Hola, he creado un archivo en Word usando mendeley como gestor de referencias. En un principio todo parece estár bien en le archivo, pero tengo problemas al guardarlo como PDF. Ya me he puesto en contacto con asistencia rápida de windows y me han pedido que ponga mi duda aquí porque no me podían asistir con ello. Son dos problemas 1.No puedo clicar o seleccionar as referencias en el texto y no me mandan a la sección de referencias. 2. Al irme a la sección de referencias, al clicar en el doi o en el enlance, me sale "Error: DOI no encontrado" esto me pasa con todos los artículos científicos que uso en el archivo. Pero con las páginas web no. En resumen no se puede usar el enlace de referencia y el hipervínculo de la aplicación Word al convertirlo en archivos PDF, proporcionamos una solución como revertir la versión de Office, ejecutar una reparación rápida en el paquete de la aplicación de Office y descubrimos que el problema es encubierto y parte de la comunidad y el foro de Office.ezoubidamesbahiJul 10, 2025Copper Contributor148Views0likes1Comment
