Re: PDF tagged or not?

Oh and could this be a case of the Word document being tagged and the
InDesign one not being tagged (or vice versa) and so the PDF thought it
wasn't tagged, even though it has tags? That is the only other way I can
see this happening. The whole document is tagged on all pages, which is why
I wondered if my idea was right.

Cheers
