Hi Catherine, When you've inserted the picture, right click on it and select Properties. Go to the Web Tab, and give it some Alt text. Save, close and re-open, and see if the Alt Text is spoken back.

I'm still not sure what's going on, as after=20 inserting the picture and reducing its size I am no longer able to arrow=20 around to move between cells. Perhaps my arrowing around changes the=20 picture somehow - because after I arrow a bit and JAWS says nothing I go to=20 close the file and Excel asks me if I want to save the changes. So I tried=20 again, and this time moved around the cells by using alt control arrows, but=20 when I get to the cell where I inserted a picture JAWS says blank. Do you=20 know whether JAWS would pick up that there is a picture there in Excel? Is=20 there any other way I can tell the picture has definitely been inserted?
