The AltText property contains all alternative text for a shape (a combination of Title and Description property values).

If you assign text to the AltText property, it is copied to the Description property and the Title property is set to null.

The following code snippet adds Alt Text to a shape:

C#

Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
// Create a callout and specify its alternative text.
Shape shape = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.AccentLineCallout1);
shape.AltText = "A callout with an accent bar and a straight callout line.";

VB.NET

Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
' Create a callout and specify its alternative text.
Dim shape As Shape = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.AccentLineCallout1)
shape.AltText = "A callout with an accent bar and a straight callout line."
