Re: [office] How to add animations for shapes on master pages

[Peter Korn <Peter.Korn@Sun.COM>]

Hi Dave,

We should discuss animation accessibility soon in our SC - perhaps at 
our next meeting.  Questions we should explore include ways to tag the 
animation with ALT text descriptions, suggested UI for authors to do 
this, guidelines for when animations should be so tagged (does every 
animation need a description?  is there a way to indicate 
'non-informational/decorative animations' as such, so the user knows 
they exist and knows they needn't care about them), etc.
