Highlighted Boxes During Tabbing Still Out of Order Jul 12, 2016 By James Johnson Hello, I'm trying to set the tab order of slide objects to meet an accessibility requirement. I set the slide elements in order from top to bottom in the timeline. They are also set in order from top to bottom in the Tab Order window. However, when I preview the slide, tabbing through the slide highlights the page elements out of order. How do I get the slide elements to tab in order? Help!

Russell Killips almost 8 years ago07/12/16 at 9:11 pm (UTC) That's odd, It seems to work for me. Are you able to share your story file and what order would you like them in? I'll try to get it working for you.
James Johnson Author almost 8 years ago07/12/16 at 9:18 pm (UTC) I am. I have attached the file. I'll add the caveat that it's one of our older courses that's due for a major design update. But until then, we would like to understand why this isn't working. Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated. Jaws_test_2.story

James Johnson Author almost 8 years ago07/13/16 at 1:18 pm (UTC) Hey Russell, Thank you for taking the time to look over this file. All of the pages wit the exception of slides 5 and 12 are working great. I'm not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong on those slides. Would it be possible for you to take a closer look at those as well? I appreciate it. Thank you,

Russell Killips almost 8 years ago07/13/16 at 4:24 pm (UTC) I was having problems with slide 5. I don't know what was wrong. I created a new slide which became slide 6. Then I deleted the old Slide 5.
