Add Alternative Text to Word Graphics and Images
Alternative Text or Alt Text refers to text that can be read by a screen reader to describe graphics and images
which people with visual dis-abilities cannot see. All Graphics and Images should be provided with
alternative text descriptions. Avoid placing graphics too close to text. This can cause problems when
converting to PDF. Place white space between text and graphics.
