Sorry - I should have been clearer
Options > Links > Add Link

I've played more though and it's not that WP's code is off. It's that
the page in question is poor.

The 'Link Name' becomes the alt tag if an image is used.
The 'Short description' serves as both the title tag and the words that
appear under the link when output.
The 'Notes' does something ?

So right now with default calls, she can have images with a title and
the words underneath, or images but no titles. And the Name = alt tag
could do with clearing up ?
