OK, some of us are just a tad-bit dense.
Yes, if you select the picture with shift+arrow whichever direction you are
going, then do the applications key, shift+f10, etc., the format picture
option is right there.
And, as you said, the alt-text item is above that item if you just arrow up
or hit the letter a.
However, how do you then save the alt-text?
I found myself in no-man's-land.
There was a mark as decorative check box and a "yes I'll help button".

If you type in your alt-text, what next?

Thanks,
Richard

Now, this is strange,in Office 365, if I select a photo, press the
applications key and up arrow, Format Picture comes up immediately, and one
of the selections is Alt Text, although the picture has already been
automatically described, with a somewhat gemeric but acceptable
description.
This is with very latest updates in Word Office 365.

Hi Shivaji
You should be able to select the image Then Shift F10

Are you getting the Format Picture Option?
There then should be an option of Layout and Properties and Edit Alt
Text is there.
In 2019 when you press Shift+F10 the Edit Alt Text is an option on its
own-
shortcut letter A in that menu.
