Hi there,

I have a question I'd like to ask the forum in the hopes that someone can help.

I work for a visual impairment charity and it's been highlighted to us that when we add pictures to our Word documents the alt text isn't being identified and read out by VoiceOver (only the file name and extension is read). We haven't been able to work out why; our alt text is picked up by JAWS and SuperNova. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Natasha
