The descriptive text associated with a shape.

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

The example below shows how to add Alt Text to a shape:

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.";
