Accessibility question: paragraph font size vs. header - Rise 360

Hey folks -- an accessibility question:

If I increase the font size of a paragraph text, will a screen reader recognize that as a header? I know that reading order is important for screen readers, so I just want to make sure that I'm staying inclusive. Thanks!

    I suspect not, It's not the size of the font that defines whether text is a heading or a paragraph it's set within the font control.

    Highlight your text, select font and right at the top you should see your default heading and body text. These defaults can be edited within the theme as well.

    I agree with what Chris says and also suggest putting titles and headers in their own text boxes instead of putting all text in one box. Easier to ensure proper formatting!
