Open the Reading Order Tool.
Select the image by drawing a box around it with your cursor.
Click the Figure button in the Reading Order Tool.
Open the Tags Pane.
Right-click the Figure tag.
Select Properties.
In the Tag tab, enter the alt text in the Alternate Text field.
Section 4.17: Image with a Caption (Using the Reading Order Tool)
Open the Reading Order Tool.
Select the image and caption by drawing a box around them with your cursor.
Click the Figure/Caption button in the Reading Order Tool.
Open the Tags Pane.
Right-click the Figure tag.
Select Properties.
In the Tag tab, enter the alt text in the Alternate Text field. In 150 characters or less, describe the image. If you have a caption of the image, include text on the caption.
