I can't find a way to do this but I did find the ability to add captions.

I am new to Office for Mac and since it doesn't work with VoiceOver it is
slow going for me/have some vision and impossible to use if you need screen
reader support.

Cheers, Karen

It isn't possible to add alternate text to images in Word for Mac 2004. Has
this problem been corrected in Word for Mac 2008?

Thanks,
Terry
