Microsoft Publisher Accessibility - Reading Order

Hi there,

One of our departments uses Microsoft Publisher for an annual publication. We are training everyone on making file types accessible and I can't find much on reading order with Publisher. I know that you can select to bring text boxes, tables, and media forward or backward on a page but it doesn't seem to have the same capabilities as PowerPoint in being able to view the Selection arrangements to confirm you have everything in the right order. Does anyone know if there's a way to open a pane in publisher to view and confirm the reading order?

Thanks!
