After creating an interactive button, how can I change the alternative representation text (the alt text. or mouseover text) for it? For images, it is under image properties on the popup menu, but there is nothing like that for interactive buttons.
 
Only thru Code View
Select the Button and switch to code view to the alt="button text" attribute
- if you edit the button w/ the interactive button dialog you will have to edit the alt text again

It's probably preferable to use title for the mouseover text and leave alt
for browsers that can't use images, eg
<img title="text to show on mouseover" alt="Button Text">
or sometimes to hide the alt text for browsers that can display the image
<img title="" alt="Button Text">
