Alt text means alternative text - it only displays when the image is not
available for any reason.
IE can be set up to display alt text regardless of the image status,
FireFox defaults to follow the "rules".
I think IE7 also follows the rules by default and only displays alt text
when there is no image.

Set title text and this will be displayed by all browsers (except
Netscape 4 and earlier)
Example
<img src="mallard.jpg" alt="Picture of a train" title="Mallard at speed"
height="50" width="150" />
 
FP 2002. I am producing my first site for a few years. I used to be able to
enter text for the Picture Properties and when the mouse passed over the
text popped up. This never happens in Firefox and is spasmodic in IE7, am I
missing a step?

Thank you for your reply. Perhaps I did not explain it very well, I
am not talking about Alt-Txt when text comes up in place of a missing
graphic, this is a box that comes up whenever you pass the mouse over
a graphic that is displaying perfectly with whatever text I wish to
display.

Try:
title="text"
