I need to put in alternate text on some hyperlinks to make it more accesible
for people with visuual imparements. I can easily do it in other web
editors can anyone tell me how to do so.

Not supported in Publisher, which btw is neither a web design tool nor an
HTML editor. You can use a workaround, refer to

If you have means of editing the code directly, try this:

A typical hypertext link looks like this:

<a href="link.html">link text</a>

With alternate text, it looks like this:

<a href="link.html" title="alternate text">link text</a>

Hope this helps!
