Re: Word & PDF Style Question About Headings

Hi,
The NVDA UIA stuff is experimental. I'm unsure what is coming in their next release.

On another topic, I noticed that when NVDA UIA is on, it speaks the word "Decorative" with graphics in Word. JAWS also does this. When we recently generated a PDF using Adobe Pro, all the graphics marked as decorative came over and did not show up for screen readers. When UIA was off in NVDA, the decorative graphics did not show up at all with NVDA.

So I guess that my wining about decorative being heard could be chocked up as a training issue, but I would want the behavior to be consistent with what we teach about web accessibility.

Thanks.

Jim
