You have two questions here.

Alt tags (alt text) is only for images. Office applications do have a means of applying alt text to images. I don't have the instructions on hand how to do this. You do not apply alt text to tables. Hence why you did not get a failure which is correct.

This also applies to Google Docs. If they have not built in the ability of applying alt tags to images, then it is responsibility of Google to fix this.
