Re: Word Accessibility Question About Built-in Styles

I don't think screen readers look for any style info in word docs. It's
really up to word to surface accessibility info to the accessibility API
and it will do that based on the type of style you use. You can create a
brand new style but make sure you select the "style based on" combobox. If
you want your own heading style, choose "heading 1" or "heading 2" etc from
the combo and that should be enough for word to surface a heading element
to the API.
