Hi @barbaraf97259306,
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry to hear that the blue Alt Text indicators are getting in the way of your work.
As the expert mentioned, these icons are associated with the AI-generated Alt Text feature in InDesign.
If you simply want to hide the blue “T” indicators without removing the Alt Text, please go to View > Extras > Hide Alt Text Badge.
Additionally, if you don't want InDesign to automatically generate Alt Text for newly placed images, go to Preferences > Generative AI and uncheck Auto-generate Alt Text when placing images.
Please note that disabling automatic generation won't remove Alt Text already assigned to existing images, but hiding the badge should remove the visual indicators from your workspace.
You can find more information in this helpx documentation:

Please give this a try and let us know if it helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek
