You can specify alternative text that will appear in place of the image for text-only browsers or for browsers that have been set to download images manually. For visually impaired users who use speech synthesizers with text-only browsers, the text is spoken out loud. In some browsers, this text also appears when the pointer is over the image.

To set alternative text for an image:

1	Select the image in the Document window.
2	Select Window > Properties to open the Property inspector, if it is not already open.
3	Type descriptive alternative text in the Alt text box.
