I think that is exactly what needs to be tested.

I could test this on my system if you can confirm the scenario: - Start with an HTML document, created by any means. - The doc contains an <IMG> with the ALT= attribute. - The HTML doc is opened in Word and some text on the page is changed or added. - The page is "Saved as HTML" from Word, without first saving it in Word format. PS: *Why* would you use Word to edit an HTML document?!
