Re: Alt Text in PowerPoint 2010

Am not sure what the bug is. The Title and Description are on two lines in
the PDF Alt Text TouchUp Properties dialog. They read as they do in Word,
first Title and then Description and each is identified as either Title or
Description in the tagged PDF.

I am using JAWS 12 and Word 2010 to view the DOC file so maybe there is more
to this when you open the document in Word 2003? Maybe I've been working in
Office 2010 too long to recognize the bug?

Maybe this is a good bug...a feature?

BTW a message from the Section 508 list indicates that with SP1 of Office
2011 for Mac you can now add Alt Text to images. Haven't downloaded and
installed SP1 for Office for Mac 2011 yet but looking forward to trying this
out.

Cheers, Karen
