00:00:06.882 --> 00:00:10.438
To add alt text to an image in Microsoft
Word,

00:00:10.762 --> 00:00:12.655
there are two ways you can do it.

00:00:12.655 --> 00:00:15.842
If you're using a mouse, click
on the image to select it,

00:00:16.443 --> 00:00:20.600
right click and select edit alt text.

00:00:23.741 --> 00:00:25.403
If you don't use a mouse,

00:00:25.403 --> 00:00:27.436
make sure that your picture is selected,

00:00:27.851 --> 00:00:30.069
hit the alt key.

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:32.978
That will take you into the menus,

00:00:32.978 --> 00:00:36.350
and go to picture format, which is JP.

00:00:39.214 --> 00:00:42.031
Then select alt text, which is AT.

00:00:45.911 --> 00:00:46.974
In this case,

00:00:46.974 --> 00:00:50.299
automatically generated alt
text has been provided.

00:00:50.992 --> 00:00:53.579
A person and person posing for a picture,

00:00:53.994 --> 00:00:57.320
description automatically generated
with low confidence.

00:00:58.244 --> 00:01:01.061
We're going to change
that as it's not very descriptive.

00:01:01.847 --> 00:01:04.387
So we've selected all of it. I'll delete that,

00:01:04.895 --> 00:01:08.452
and I've already pre-prepared
some alt text which I'm going to paste in.

00:01:10.392 --> 00:01:12.840
It says: Scarborough's town crier and his wife

00:01:13.024 --> 00:01:16.581
wearing their official bright
red gold trimmed coats and hats.

00:01:17.043 --> 00:01:19.583
The town crier is ringing 
a large hand bell.

00:01:20.368 --> 00:01:22.678
Now I can close the alt text.

00:01:23.925 --> 00:01:25.495
One other thing to check is that

00:01:25.495 --> 00:01:27.481
the image is inline.

00:01:28.682 --> 00:01:30.576
The inline with text option

00:01:30.576 --> 00:01:33.809
should be chosen,
not any of the other wrapping options.

00:01:34.225 --> 00:01:38.336
That way a screen reader will recognise
the image and read the alt text.
