Hide from Focus Order vs (in)visible to accessibility tools

What is the difference between the following two things? 

A) Going to the focus order window and removing an item from the focus order

B) Right clicking the element and going to accessibility, then un-checking "Object is visible to accessibility tools"

Is there a reason to choose one as opposed to the other? 

Thanks!

  • Hi Arabella,

    This is a good question!

    Both processes will remove the object from the focus order. However, it's important to note that objects from the Slide Master cannot be removed from the focus order window as the Delete button is turned off. You must go to the Slide Master, right-click the object, and untick the "Object is visible to accessibility tools" option.

    To answer your question, Option (B) is preferred for Slide Master objects. Please see the screenshots below for reference.

    Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.
