Read out Loud Function: Problems with Tables

How do I control the read out loud function so that it reads all the text in a table cell before reading the next cell? Is this even possible in Acrobat? It is reading horizontally, line by line, across all the cells in a table. This is not how tables are naturally read. I see no to way to edit the reading order within a table. The touch up tool is too broad an instrument it seems. Thanks for any information you might have for this topic!

You need to tag your PDF so that ROL knows that it is a table.

Also, be sure you are current with your version of Acrobat. Acrobat 8's ROL is better than earlier versions.
