Difference between the Container tags and Structure Tags

for

When I convert/save a pdf from Microsoft Word, its styles are converted to structure tags and not container tags. So when I open the Reading Order panel to check the tags, all the tags are <p> because it is reading the container tags. If I go into the properties then I can see the structure tags (they match the MS styles) and the container tags. Of course I can change it there, but that seems odd that I should have to do that.

Am I doing something wrong when converting the PDFs? I am selecting the online version instead of the print version when saving on this mac.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

-Mark
