Specifying that the group will be read last

You can control the order in which objects are announced for users who rely on screen readers while viewing published content.

Reading order is established by the order of objects as they are listed in the Project Explorer. Objects at the top of the Project Explorer list are announced first, while objects at the bottom of the Project Explorer list are announced last. For every page, the announcement of objects begins with project-level inherited objects, one by one, top to bottom, as they are listed. Then, chapter-level inherited objects, followed by section-level inherited objects. The page-level objects are read last, top to bottom, as they are listed beneath the page within the Project Explorer.

You can create groups at the project, chapter, and section levels whose reading order can be specifically set to be read last, after all page-level objects have been announced. This option is enabled when Accessibility Settings within the Project Options is enabled.

Selecting this option will disable the setting for the Always on Top property in the Appearance group for the group and all objects within it.
If this option is selected for multiple groups at the section-, chapter-, or project-levels, section-level groups will be amongst the first objects read last, followed by chapter-level grouped objects, and then project-level grouped objects.

To specify that the group will be read last:

Do one of the following to display the Properties ribbon:
- In the Project Explorer, double-click the graphic of the group object.
- In the Project Explorer, right-click the graphic of the group and select Properties.
Enable the Set Reading Order to Last check box in the Group group.

The group's reading order is set to last.
