> Thank you for your response. Quick question - once I access the image from the list of objects, I am not able to access the alternative text. Is there a way to get this information?

Kim, with JAWS the alt text is shown in the list of objects with control+shift+o. With other screen readers I'm not sure this is possible or not. With NVDA the insert+f7 dialog does not show images but it does show charts but the alt text is not displayed in the list or announced.
