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.
Adding background color every second paragraph in an MS Word TOC
Hi, I recently converted a PDF file originally designed in InDesign to an MS Word file. The TOC had a background color set for every second paragraph. Since I found no automatic solution to this challenge, I had to draw a box that had a specific color and duplicate it as in the above image. Lucky me the document hasn't had too many chapters. I know and I used on many occasions the option from the DESIGN tab - PAGE BORDERS - SHADING. But, it will update the entire TOC1 style or TOC2 style, depending on where I am trying to apply it. I set TOC1 and TOC2 to never auto-update and I tried to apply SHADING to every second row. It worked. Ish. For TOC2 the shading started indented, which I did not want. I needed to be the same indent as TOC1. Is there an option for doing that automatically? Thank you, Sebastian
Hiding Tags for Repeating Section Content Control
I have a Word template that I use in Power Automate flow to populate and create a report. I have a Repeating Section Content Control in the table to add multipe lines. This works as expected except for the tags for the contect control being visible in the report after I've populated the document: The first screenshot is of the template and the second is from the report after I've populated it. I want to hide the "Produkt" end and start tags..

I have a book-length MS in Word 365 with many footnotes. The footnotes are numbered continuously from1 to over 1,000. I would like to begin footnote numbering over with each chapter. I understand that this should be possible if the chapters are separated by breaks, but when I have my cursor at the end of a chapter, the "breaks" button is greyed out and inoperable. As far as I can tell, the document is not "protected." Can anyone help?MAILMERGE
Hello, Looking for guidance on how to include correct spacing for a "," between the following names. I inserted a "," for owner(s) 2-6 by right clicking on the owner field, selecting edit field, placing a check mark within the "text to be inserted before:" field option and placed a comma in the box.
