PROBLEM

Microsoft Office (Word & PowerPoint) tries to be smart when you insert images and generate Alt Text:

CAUSE

In an apparent upgrade by Microsoft, Office 2016 and Office 365 now have this feature enabled automatically by default.

SOLUTION

The one that worked for us was the following instructions:

Click on File. Click on Options. Click on Ease of Access. Uncheck the box that says “Automatically generate alt text for me”. Click on OK.

CONCLUSION

You have successfully turned off the automatic alt text generation feature! Remember, you have to do this for Word and PowerPoint separately though.

Did this work? We hope we have helped! Let us know in the comments below!
