WordsProcessing: Add support for the descr attribute of NonVisualDrawingProperties for a shape/image

This attribute specifies the alternative text for the current DrawingML object, for use by assistive
technologies or applications which do not display the current object. Currently it is omitted while importing the content with DocxFormatProvider

Hello Todd,

We have verified the behavior with the document you shared initially in the support ticket - the alternative text of the image inside is preserved with the R2 2022 version. Please, check the new version when uploaded, and don't hesitate to let us know if you encounter any different behavior.

I just want to verify that if I have the alt text set on an image in a Word Document and I import the Word document using the code below, the alt text will come over for images when the document is imported. We rely heavily on importing a word document as a starting point because it contains the header images and styles set by our internal branding group.

provider = new DocxFormatProvider();
using (Stream input = File.OpenRead(documentTemplate))
{
document = provider.Import(input);
editor = new RadFlowDocumentEditor(document);
}

Hello,

This item will be available in R2 2022 Release.

It is also available with Telerik UI for WPF's latest internal build - LIB 2022.1.425 (25 Apr 2022) if you need it earlier.

Hi Todd,

The task is already in development and you will be notified when it is done. Most probably it will be included in the next service pack release.

This enhancement is important for the ADA community and our ADA compliance. Screen readers use the Alt Text on an image.
