Additional considerations and requirements on using images
In order for all users to easily access content in mass emails, we must abide by certain guidelines.
Vital information must be included in the text body above the image and begin with "Image Description: [text from the image]" (PC users see alternate options below)
Images should be used in moderation. Ideally, images including text that is more than two sentences should be changed to a web page and a link provided in the email. Contact your department web liaison or marketing representative for more information.
Attachments cannot be sent in mass emails.
Alternate options for PC Users
In Outlook for the PC, you may choose to embed alternative text "alt text" in the image instead of adding "Image Description: [text from the image]"
Steps for embedding alt text
Insert the image in the email
Right-click the image
