Accessibility checker doesn't recognize my custom heading styles
I've recently reformatted a large document and applied custom heading styles throughout. I was able to generate a TOC just fine, but the accessibility checker tells me that there are no headings in the document. Any ideas as to why?
I do not want to use the built-in styles for this document. I created new styles because I want a completely different look than the built-in styles. The document also includes a custom multi-level list where each level is already associated with the custom styles I created. Any help would be appreciated!
KristenE810 Sorry, you cannot have it both ways. If you want to use the Accessibility Checker, you will need to modify the formatting of the defauld Heading # styles so that they have the formats of your new styles.
That is just one of the reasons for using the default Heading # styles.
Yes, it will take some work to now use the built-in styles, but you can modify them to have any appearance formatting you may want.
