Re: Something About Formatting Word Docs Feels Wrong For Whatever Reason

I hear your point fully, but anyone I have ever known who has used a
screen reader daily has told me that the heading 1 was far more
instructive for them. I know that everyone has different experiences,
so this can change what one person does and why...Also PDF/UA-2 won't
likely adhere to heading levels, and I do not agree at all with that
one at all. So standards can be interesting...

Cheers
