Making Tables Accessible with a Summary

A summary is an alt tag for a table. It is only read by assistive technology, such as screen readers.

The summary can be used to provide general information about a table so that users of screen reading technology have an idea about what they are about to get into.

Below is a sample table tag with a summary. FrontPage does not have a mechanism to add summaries, you must edit the underlying html code to add a summary.
