Re: Check reading order warning for tables in Word 365

Hi,
I've always treated that warning as something that always shows if a table
is present due to how a table can be used. In the last few weeks I've seen
a few documents that use a 1x1 table to create a centered box, for
example..

Getting back to the question, I interpret the warning as needing a human to
bless that the table is fine.
