Section 5.9: Using the Reading Order Tool

  1. Go to Tools then Accessibility.

  2. From the drop-down, select Add Shortcut.

While it achieves the same outcome as working in the tag tree, this tool offers a more intuitive tagging experience, especially for those unfamiliar with HTML tagging.

Info

Note: Drawing a box around the content can sometimes be challenging. The tool may accidentally include extra blank space or miss parts of your selection. If this happens, simply click the mouse to clear the selection and try again until you’ve selected the correct content.
