I can verify that even the very latest version of calibre doesn't use the alt-text property that's set using Microsoft Word. Even when converting from docx to epub, the alt-text property of the image tag becomes "Image." Regardless of what alt-text I define in Word.

I don't see a way to define the "description" property in Word 2007 (after only a cursory search) -- in case that's what calibre uses for alt-text. Just curious why Word's alt-text property wouldn't be used for this? Seems made to order.

EDIT: Never mind. I see that later versions of Word use the "description" property for its alt text. So it would seem Word versions earlier than 2010 might not be able to provide calibre with the property it's looking to use for alt-text.

EDIT2: I was wrong. I can see the "descr" property in the xml and it indeed contains the alt-text I defined in the docx document via Word 2007, the text of the descr property is just not finding its way into the converted document for some reason.
