Inserting inline graphics

2013-09-12 Thread Robert Lauriston
Creating a custom dingbat font for the icons could work if you were delivering PDF. It would be problematic for help formats that use the client's fonts. Your authoring tool would have to convert the dingbats to images. On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 2:59 PM, David Creamer wrote: > I my mind, I see it

I need to make accessible PDFs. I'm using FM 10. There are two things I need to do: 1. Have each heading be tagged "en-us". 2. Have ALT tags for each graphics. The second item we've figured out (the Graphics->Options item), but how do we do #1? Thanks, --Lynn Gold Information Developer IBM,
