Yes, add the same description in the Title field and that should make it work with Voiceover.

What you will find out is that JAWS users will benefit from the Title field if they are setting focus on the images using CTRL + Shift + o.

I have witnessed this defect in the past and made it a habit to fill out both fields with the same alternative text.

Hi Jerra and JP,



Thank you both for your suggestions.



I'm using Office 2016. There isn't a "mark as decorative" checkbox as there is with Office 365; I do however have the option to add a title and description. I add my alt text to description and leave the title box blank; not sure if that could be the problem.



I've double-checked and the images are in-line with text.



Many thanks,

Natasha
