Creating Tags in A Table Using Reading Order Panel

Question

I am working on this exercise to learn tagging a table with headings and cells using Reading Order Panel.  I am selecting and then selecting "Cell" to create a tag.  For me, nothing happens.  No indication of any tab being created.  Any idea how to fix this?

Before defining a cell, you’ll have to identify the table as a table, or confirm that the table is tagged as such. With the Touch-up Reading Order tool, you can draw a box around the table to encompass and select it, and click the Table button to tag it. Your rows should be identified as table rows, header cells as TH (table header) and cells as table data (TD). You can right click and play with the Table Editor to try your hand at manipulating table tags.

With all that said, your tags should be inherited from the source document whenever possible. Tagging by hand in Acrobat is nothing anyone wants to do… ever!

My best,

Dave
