<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I hope this message finds you all well. I was a former member of the MS Office accessibility working group and I am reaching out to you to ask for some guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I am wondering if anyone in the group has recently encountered issues with converting documents created in MS WORD 2016 to ACROBAT PDF?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I've attached a MS WORD Doc that has been created accessible and should carry proper tags into Acrobat. However, this is not the case. The resulting PDF looks like the tags are correct in the tag
tree but not according to the TURO tool. If you expand the tag tree, there are many empty containers and tags that have carried over from the WORD doc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I took this to out internal IT department to ask them to do some testing and they have notified me that it is a compatibility issue between WORD 2016 and Acrobat Pro XI. Their recommendation was
for me to revert back to WORD 2013 as a solution but our campus has already upgraded everyone to WORD 2016 so this is obviously not an ideal solution. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I present training workshops on document accessibility and this issue is generating quite a bit of confusion and conflicting information so I am looking for any additional info I can get to help
us find a better solution or at least verify the cause of the issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I appreciate any feedback or suggestions you are able to offer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
