To my knowledge this will be phased out by Microsoft although I don't have a specific date. Also to my knowledge, none of the screen readers or Text-to-Speech tools supported this and it wasn't converted to anything if the document/presentation was converted to tagged PDF. It is also no longer part of the accessibility checker.

My understanding is that it was sort of like the Title and Description in the Alt Text pane/dialog...an attempt to harmonize with HTML that didn't quite work.
