Table set as landscape is not displaying correctly in Table Editor

I have a landscape table where the Accessibility tags panel has the Table, TR, TH, and TD tags set correctly, but when I open the Tag Editor to add the scope to the headers it's not displaying correctly. How can I add the scope to this table?

@lindsay_3411 it’s quite possible that the page orientation is interfering with how the tags are rendered or interpreted. One workaround you might try is using the “Organize Pages” tool to rotate the page to portrait temporarily, which can sometimes help the Tag Editor display the structure more accurately. After adding the scope attributes to your headers, you can rotate the page back to landscape. Alternatively, you might consider editing the tags directly in the Tags tree or using the Reading Order tool to reassign scope manually. It’s not always a perfect fix, but these steps can help you work around the display issue and ensure your table remains accessible. Let me know if you’d like help walking through any of those steps.

I tried using the "Organize Pages" tool to rotate the page to portrait temporarily and it did not help the Tag Editor display the structure more accurately. I edited the tags directly in the Tags tree, but I couldn't find where to add the scope there. Is there a way to add the scope in the Tags tree without needing the "Table Editor?"

 

I tried using the Reading Order tool to reassign scope manually and got error messages and every line tagged to its own row with the same TH and TDs in the Reading Order displayed.
