Remarks

Decorative (similar to the Mark as Decorative option in Microsoft Word) is an option used for shapes, pictures, and charts that do not add meaningful content to a document and are purely decorative. This feature is important for accessibility, as it helps screen readers ignore these drawing objects, preventing unnecessary distractions for users with visual impairments.

Use the Shape.AlternativeText property to specify the descriptive (alternative) text for a drawing object.
