Re: Question: inlne headings

Hi Bevi,

Olaf¹s suggestion works, but is waaaay time consuming. I¹ve run into those
before (a lot, actually, for our client). I handle inline headings just as
you proposed, but splitting them up in Acrobat. It¹s way easier than
trying to get InDesign to work the way you want it to.

So, a long explanation would be to just select the text ³This report
presents national estimates of blue widgets² and create tag from selection
in Acrobat, giving it a P tag. Change the tag to Hn for Objective.
