Created attachment 165610 [details] Sample DOCX from MSO This bug is about table title when reading and saving DOCX. (normally open and save are different bug, but let's first see what happens here). Attached is MSO DOCX with table that has Alt Text for table and description. Since LO doesn't have separate field for table Alt Text, it should either: 1. add field for table Alt Text 2. open DOCX table Alt Text as table title Similar with save. Problem doesn'r refer to DOC as explained in bug 48882.
Please explain what you expect. Guess a field for the alternative text that might be send to the caption right now. Is there room in the ODF format, what purpose has this field (beyond HTML editing), why not just ignore.
Alt Text is accessibility issue. If we don't read or save to DOCX that's data loss. I thought of 2 possibilities: 1. change UI for table Options to add field for table Alt Text, like in Image - Options or Chart - Options OR 2. simply open DOCX table Alt Text as table Title and save ODT table Title as Alt Text, which is more simple but not consistent approach. Can't say for ODF, couudn't find in standard, but it must be there, like for images or chart.
(In reply to Timur from comment #2) > Can't say for ODF, couudn't find in standard, but it must be there, like for > images or chart. table:title and table:desc sounds like it: https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/cs01/part3-schema/OpenDocument-v1.3-cs01-part3-schema.html#__RefHeading__1415608_253892949 Also note that the Table Properties dialog Table tab Name field outputs table:name tag into ODF so I think that UI field is not for the same role as these. Confirming that alternative text of the table in attachment #165610 [details] is lost on a Writer roundtrip.
Table names are used in the Navigator like in case of images and charts. So the alternative text needs a dedicated field and I agree with the same congruence to image and chart below the name.
Created attachment 173260 [details] DOCX created with Office 365 For another example file, I created a DOCX with Office 365, and used the table's "Alt Text" dialogue, which has a "Title" field and a "Description" field. The file has values for both, to test if LO keeps that information anywhere.

Adding Accessibility meta bug.
