Applying Alt Text

Alternate "alt" text provides a textual option for non-text elements on a web page, which is required as part of Section 508 compliance. See Section 508 and WCAG.

In Contributor, you can apply alt text to elements such as images and links.

Applying Alt Text and Screen Tips to Images

When you insert or edit an image, you can apply alternate text or a screen tip to that image. See Inserting Images and Editing Images.

When you insert or edit a link (e.g., cross-reference or hyperlink), you can apply alternate text or screen tips. If you open the link dialog, enter text in the appropriate field to alter its properties. See Inserting Cross-References and Inserting Text Hyperlinks.
