I don't know why Word provides the ability to add alternate text to a table. The question has arisen many times and no one has ever had an answer. It doesn't appear to be used for anything, so I suggest you leave it blank.

If the surrounding content provides sufficient context, there is no need to provide a table summary. If testing tools report an error, we regard it as a false positive.
