<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Cambria;color:#1F3864">We have to continue to add the Alt Text for images. JAWS is not the only adaptive technology being used by people. There are other screen readers
and Text-to-Speech tools that can access the Alt text. We have to focus on the best practices/standards, and not a specific adaptive technology where a tool/feature might be broken from one version to another. Also, as indicated by someone, the reading of
Alt text is working for them using the same version of JAWS, so this may be a device problem or something else that is going on.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Cambria;color:#1F3864">Bottom line is that we make documents as accessible as they can be using the tools in the document format/application and when something breaks from
one version to another, we let the adaptive technology developers know and lobby for getting it fixed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Cambria;color:#1F3864"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Cambria;color:#1F3864">In this case, even though JAWS is not reading the Alt Text for the images in a Word document, if I press Ctrl + Shift + letter O, I get a list of
objects and the images are listed by their Alt Text. It is just when I go through the document in a logical manner that the problem surfaces.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
