 +Q: I am editing a book that has very long tables that are images.  I obviously need to convert them to readable tables in Word, but my question is should I create on very large table, or should I cut it down into smaller tables?

 A: Images of tables need to be presented as tables, just as images of text should be presented as text. You can see how to make accessible tables here:[[public:nnels:etext:tables|Tables]]. If you have questions about creating tables, let us know! We may need to add in a short alt description if the table is not sufficiently described in the surrounding text. A: Images of tables need to be presented as tables, just as images of text should be presented as text.
