Change static text to dynamic text for accessibility

Static text is accessible to screen readers. However, you cannot provide static text with an instance name, which is required to control the tab order and reading order. You'll change the overview text paragraph to dynamic text and specify accessibility options.

  1. On the Stage, select the text that begins "The TRIO ZX2004 provides the ultimate in efficiency ..."

    The Accessibility panel changes to indicate that you cannot apply accessibility features to this selection.

  2. In the Property inspector, select Dynamic Text from the Text Type pop-up menu.

    Accessibility settings now appear in the Accessibility panel.

  3. In the Instance name text box, enter an instance name of text9_txt.

    Note: To specify a tab order and reading order, which you'll do next, you must provide an instance name for all instances. The instance name must be unique in your document.
