If you create a word document with an embedded object and set the alt text of the embedded object to contain a character which needs escaping when in an attribute in XML (eg. quote mark " ), NVDA will not see that embedded object as it will get an XML parse error.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new word document.
2. Insert an embedded object (in my case I used MathType to put in an equation).
3. Set the alt text of the embedded object to contain double quotes (eg. a " b).
4. move the word cursor over the embedded object and observe what NVDA presents in speech and Braille.

Expected: NVDA will announce the embedded object and speak and Braille the alt text.
Actual: NVDA does not announce anything, including not announcing the presence of the embedded object.

Using NVDA 2013.2 and tested with Word 2007 and 2010.
