Presumably this refers to Word 2007 -- something you should always
include in any question here.

Admittedly, the feature is hidden in one of the most improbable places
Microsoft could have stuck it: When the picture is selected, go to the
Picture Tools ribbon, click the little dialog launcher button in the
bottom right corner of the Size group (Size??? what the #$%^ does size
have to do with Alt text?? Why isn't it on the Format Picture
dialog?), and click the Alt Text tab of the dialog.

But... you could have discovered this by asking Google to find the
terms "Word 2007" and "alt text" together, and finding
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923919. That article also tells you
how to add an Alt Text button to the Quick Access Toolbar.
