Changing the display properties of the graphic
Once you have added a graphic, you can change its display properties using the properties box. Keep in mind that Domino passes the size and scaling information for graphics to the browser. If the browser supports scaling, the graphic has the same size and scale as it does in Notes; otherwise, the graphic appears in its original size, regardless of how you size it.

To add alternate text for the Web

You can make your application accessible to people with physical disabilities. Many of these users access applications with screen readers. Screen reader software, in conjunction with a digital speech synthesizer, provides an aural representation of what is on the screen or the cursor. In order to function, the screen reader software must have detailed information about graphics, so that it can translate the graphical display into speech. You can provide this information by making sure you include alternate text for all the graphics in your application.

1. Select the graphic.

2. Choose Picture - Picture Properties.

3. At the Picture Info tab, enter text in the "Alternate text" box.

To add a caption

1. Select the graphic.

2. Choose Picture - Picture Properties.

3. At the Picture Info tab, enter text in the Caption box. Click the check mark to accept the text.

4. Select a display option for the caption.
