Hi Latie,

Thanks for sharing that method. One thing I found quite by accident, was
when I copied the content of a Word document into a Gmail email. This
included the two photos I have in there, which had alts in Word. When I
copied the photos didn't copy over (I expected that) but my alts did copy
over...It was interesting. It didn't help me, but I wasn't expecting the
alts to come with the text!

Cheers

Lisa
