Madeleine, You can add alternate text to anchored frames in FrameMaker. (PDF tags must be turned on in PDF Settings when converting to PDF for Distiller to parse the alternate text.)
To add object attributes, select the anchored frame and then choose Graphics > Object Properties. Click Object Attributes, and in then Text Attributes add your alternate and actual text. Baruch Brodersen -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Madeleine r Dimond Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 12:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: FrameMaker and Accessibility We're beginning to make our documents accessible, and we'd like to work in FrameMaker as much as possible, rather than retouch them in Acrobat. We have some icons that we use before notes, tips, and other asides. I'd prefer that the reader skip the graphic because the word "Note" is part of the text. However, in Acrobat the Reading Order tool shows the graphic as "No alternative text exists," and the person checking the document says that's not acceptable, even though it doesn't cause a reading problem. So is there any way to set the anchored frame properties for the graphic so that Acrobat will recognize it as background text and its Reading Order tool will ignore it? Is there any Accessibility group associated with FrameMaker? Best, Madeleine _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [email protected].
