Adding Alternative Text to Tables
In addition to images, tables also need a text alternative if you are planning on distributing your document in digital form. The alternative text functions the same way in that it provides a brief description of the table (e.g., Course Schedule, Rise of sales per month, Virus outbreak by states, etc.)
- Right-click anywhere on or in the table and choose TABLE PROPERTIES.
- Click the ALT TEXT tab.
- Type your alternative text within the TITLE box.
If a longer description of your table is needed, use the additional description area below the title.
- Click OK.
