Does anyone know of a method to create a null alt in MS Word? Something that would be translated to a null alt when the document was converted to HTML or to an artifact when the document was converted to PDF.

Placing a 'space' (keyboard space) in the MS Word's 'alt text (Word 2007)'
dialog will place null alternative text in the Figure element of a tagged
PDF. This also appears to work with Word 2003 in the Web tab of the
Format Picture property window.
I do not know of a way to style or structure objects in Word in
preparation for automatic conversion to a PDF artifact.

The PDF Accessibility Wizard (PAW) for MS Word (www.net-centric.com/paw/)
has functionality to specify that a given image is "used for presentation
purposes only". Such images will be converted to artifacts when PAW
generates a PDF from the Word document.
Cheers,
