Re: Check reading order warning for tables in Word 365

If it is the "Check Reading Order" warning, this often occurs on tables
where the structure is complex, or where there's multi-line content in a
cell. It just wants a person to review the table and ensure that the table
is used appropriately. It can be safely dismissed if you know you have
created an accessible table.
