I am new to the list. I was told the acrobat order panel was connected to
Braille output. Is this so?

We have found changes needed to this order with images. Did we do the wrong
thing and should change in the content panel?

It wasn't a matter of the text being mixed up in the PathPath's but that the
auto tagging tool in Acrobat seemed to reverse itself and consider the
Artifacts as needing Tags and the text as Artifacts. I started going through
the Content Panel but found that I was making everything an Artifact and had
no text at the end of the task...I would have had to manually tag all of the
text.

I never use the Order Panel unless I think that content/text has not been
tagged. I use it as sort of a satellite view of the document but focus on
the Tags Tree and the Content Panel if necessary.

I agree about teaching the Content Panel, but in working through an exercise
with my class in accessible media design, we all had the same document, the
same version of Acrobat Pro DC and some students got table gridlines tagged
as <Span>, <Figure> or just floating in the tags Tree with no apparent
Tag...sometimes the opportunity for learning lands in front of you,
especially when working on assignments for marks!
