Adding or removing content from a highlighted region
The TouchUp Reading Order tool always displays as few highlighted regions as possible. If content
within a highlighted region doesn't follow properly, you may need to split a region to reorder it.
Highlighted regions may also contain adjacent page content that is unrelated or that requires a
different tag type. Page content may become orphaned from related elements, particularly if the
content doesn't fit within a rectangular shape. Use the TouchUp Reading Order tool to add or
remove content from a region, or split a region to reorder the content.

numbered from right to left.

to the correct location in the Order tab. (See Identifying and correcting reading-order problems.)
5. Drag to select the first content region you created in step 4, including the region you defined as
Background, and then set the tag by clicking a button in the dialog box.
