Select the graphic, open the Picture Properties box and go to the HTML tab. This will assign empty alternate text to the graphic so it will be ignored by assistive technology. If the graphic is the only object on a page, alternate text should always be provided. When someone using a screen reader navigates to the page, the screen reader will be silent if alternate text has not been provided for the graphic. The user will not be able to determine if there is a problem or if page is blank.
Testing Check the product to ensure that it complies with accessibility requirements.
Use the following techniques to verify that the application is accessible. If alternate text has been provided, the Name field will contain a description of the graphic link. If the Name field is blank, the graphic link is not accessible. If alternate text has been provided, it will be read by the screen reader. If alternate text has not been provided, the screen reader will read all or part of the URL for the link.
