Aspose Word : How to get picture\chart alt title

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,

We need to get the “Alt text title” from a picture\chart inserted in a word document.

We succeeded to obtain the alt text description using the following code :

var document = new Document("test.docx");
var firstSection = document.FirstSection;
var firstParagraph = firstSection.Body.FirstParagraph;
var picture = firstParagraph.ChildNodes.ToArray().OfType().FirstOrDefault();
var altTexDescription = picture.AlternativeText;

We have the same problem for a chart inserted in a word document.

Can you please advise ?

Hi Adriana,

It is to update you that starting from 16.2.0 version, Aspose.Words supports Alt Text Title.

In case of older format conversion, MS Word formats follow string “Title: titleText - Description: descText”, if there is no description then “Title: titleText”, and if there is no title then just “descText”. Aspose.Words does the same now.

But also you can get/set shape title like this:

Node[] shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true).ToArray();
Shape shape0 = (Shape)shapes[0];
// Get shape title.
Console.WriteLine(shape0.Title);
// Set new shape title.
shape0.Title = "New Shape Title";

Hope, this helps.

Best regards,
