SUMMARY
If you use Microsoft Publisher 98 to create a publication that is to be converted to a Web site (series of HTML documents), you can provide alternate text descriptions for your pictures. An alternate text description is a text- only description that appears in your Web browser if you choose to hide pictures or if your browser is text-based.



MORE INFORMATION
To specify alternate text for a picture, follow these steps:
 * 1) Select a picture or object frame.
 * 2) On the Format menu, click Picture Frame Properties or Object Frame Properties.
 * 3) In the Text To Display box, type the description you want to appear in place of a graphic.

NOTE: The Text To Display box only appears in the Picture Frame Properties or the Object Frame Properties dialog box if you are working on a Web publication.
 * 1) Click OK.

For more information about alternate text, click Show Index on the Status bar, type the following text in the Type A Keyword box
