I'm using Word 2007 on Vista.
I want to see if a doc I am working with, one I did not create, has alt text
for the photos embedded in the doc. I can't find any alt-text or titles for
the photos but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?
Of course, I tried to find the answer in Word's Help. But all it talks about
is how to add alt-text, not how to see if it's there already. No wonder these
forums are so popular.

Thanks in advance.
 
For pictures, I don't think you can create or view Alt Text unless you save
the document in a Word 97-2003 format. After you've done that, right-click
the picture and choose Format Picture from the context menu. Look at the Alt
Text tab of the dialog box.
 
Thanks, Stefan, that worked. Funny how that capability apparently isn't in
Word 2007?? If so, I wonder why. But at least this works, so who am I to
wonder why . . .
Thanks.
