Re: figures in wrong place

Using .doc vs .docx is a huge drawback. Saving Word files as .doc rather
than .docx can affect many features and automated processes used by
institutions.

I know Word's XML schema embedded into Word 2007 and 2013 is the most
ridiculous XML coding on the planet and has many other known bugs, but MS
should have corrected the major problems by now. After all, it's been 7
years since the base format was released.

Does anyone know if this is still a problem in Word 2013, that they figure
tags are ganged at the top of the tag tree, reading order, etc.?

Short answer - save files as .doc instead of .docx before publishing and the
figures will fall into the right places.

Hi,
I have several Word 2010 documents to convert to PDF. While the resulting
PDFs look OK, it turns out, for readers (such as NVDA) and checkers (such
as pdfGoHTML) the figures are all put at the beginning, before any text. The
figures are screen captures from Word, converted into JPGs.
Does this happen to other people? Is there a solution other than
individually moving each figure with Acrobat?
