[stylist] Tech Writing: Ten Steps To Make AccessibleWord Documents For PDF Production

[Chris Kuell]

Jim,

Yes, that's reasonable, and I think you did a good job. Of course, the 
obvious thing to do is test by actually doing it--making a template and an 
accessible pdf file. I'm loaded with editing work right now, but if I get a 
chance I'll test drive your procedure for you.
