Hi Joseph,

Yes it does - I just tried it with Excel 2016 and JAWS 2020 and it worked. =
When I opened the worksheet JAWS told me there was an embedded object; I pr=
essed Ctrl + Shift + O to get a list of objects and JAWS told me it was a p=
icture, gave me the co-ordinates of the cells it covered and then read the =
alt text.
