Defines a descriptive text for an image, text frame, signature field or OLE object. If a text already exists, the old text is deleted. An empty string indicates that the object has no such text. An empty string can also be used to delete a previously set text. The [ObjectCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/objectcurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property determines the object which text is set.
