To bring this text to the top of the reading order, drag its numbered entry into the topmost position in the Order tab. For greater accessibility on this page, you would also tag the running header and page number (highlighted regions 4 and 5) as Background to remove them from the reading order. Also note that although the highlighted region that surrounds the body of the story contains two columns of text, the reading order for this text is correct and does not need repair. The columns are not side by side, and a screen reader would read this text from top to bottom, left to right, and present this content correctly to the user. Problem: Content isn't in the proper reading order (upper left). Solution: Select the entry in the Order tab that corresponds to the content that you want to reorder (in this case, region number 3), and then drag it into the number 1 position for the reading order (upper right).

Section 11: Repairing reading order and basic tagging problems
Fixing reading order problems
You can fix the reading order of highlighted regions by rearranging the order of entries in the Order tab or by
dragging the highlighted region on the page in the document pane. Using the Order tab is the easiest way to fix a
page’s reading order. For instance, if one highlighted region of text comes too late, you drag the name of the region
into its proper, earlier place in the Order tab. On the page, the highlighted regions renumber to follow the new
reading order. This section illustrates two examples of fixing reading order by using the Order tab.
EXAMPLE 7. Fixing the reading order on a simple page
In this sample page, the “Feature Story” heading and author’s byline are number 3 in the reading order, instead of
being number 1 and preceding the first paragraph of the story. To bring this text to the top of the reading order, drag
its numbered entry into the topmost position in the Order tab.
For greater accessibility on this page, you would also tag the running header and page number (highlighted regions
4 and 5) as Background to remove them from the reading order.
Also note that although the highlighted region that surrounds the body of the story contains two columns of text,
the reading order for this text is correct and does not need repair. The columns are not side by side, and a screen
reader would read this text from top to bottom, left to right, and present this content correctly to the user.
Problem:
Content isn’t in the proper reading order (upper left).
Solution:
Select the entry in the Order tab that corresponds to the content that
you want to reorder (in this case, region number 3), and then drag it into the number 1 position for the reading order (upper right). Corrected
reading order (bottom).
