OK, got it.

BTW Office 2010 lets you add Alt Text to tables...it is called "table
descriptions" in the What's New document. I haven't tested it with tagged
PDF yet but JAWS 12 doesn't read it in Word. Then again it is a new
tool/feature. I think it is like the HTML table summary?

In Word, select a table and under Table Properties there is now an Alt text
tab. It can be applied in Word, PowerPoint and Excel but not Publisher.
