[Athen] proper heading structure in PDF

[Alex Umstead]

Hi Howard,
You should be able to customize the title style to map to a heading level 1 in Word. If memory serves, you can do this by changing the outline level to level 1 in the preferences for the style. I believe these map out to heading levels during PDF export, but I haven't done this in a while.

Subject: [Athen] proper heading structure in PDF
 
I noticed that when I convert a Word document stylized with a title and a heading structure that begins with H2 I receive a nested heading error from the Adobe accessibility checker. So I could change the title to a heading 1 or change the heading 2s to heading 1s to avoid the error. What's considered the best practice on this? 
 
Thanks,
Howard
