I continue to learn the +'s and -'s of Xara Design Pro X11 as I transition from Microsoft's Expression Web v4.

My current dilemma is wrapping my mind around Xara's use of "Alt Text" as an image caption vice what I understand is its intended use. According to the WC3 Working Group: "Providing short text alternative for non-text content that serves the same purpose and presents the same information as the non-text content."

So here's the question; How do I include Alt Text in its core sense and not have it displayed as redundant text with a given image... or is this purpose simply archaic?

For those not familiar with Xara's Alt Text location: Web Properties > Image > Image Text (Alt Text).

Thanks and Happy New Year
