Table Summary in Word Doc not Converting to PDF

[rachaell33313311]

I have created a table in a Word document.  I have added a Table Title and Summary (right click Table-->Properties-->Alt Text)

I have tried a File--> Save As-->PDF and a File-->Save as Adobe PDF.

In both situations, when I ran the Accessibility Checker it returned Table Summary - Failed.

What happened to my table summary?  Why didn't it convert?

As stated before, summaries on tables are not required per the accessibility standards.

My Word document was completely accessible before conversion to pdf according to the Word checker.

Don't depend on the checker in Word to verify the accessibility of the .DOCX file. It's a very low-level mediocre checker that checks only a few of the requirements.

Thanks once again for all of your helpful information Bevi. You've confirmed my suspicion that none of the checkers we use are adequate and that I don't know enough to be able to make these pdf documents accessible! I didn't know that the Adobe read aloud utility is not useful as a check. I'm going to get more resources.
