shape = doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, True)[0].as_shape()
self.assertTrue(shape.is_decorative)
# If "AlternativeText" is not empty, the shape cannot be decorative.
# That's why our value has changed to 'false'.
shape.alternative_text = 'Alternative text.'
self.assertFalse(shape.is_decorative)
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.move_to_document_end()
# Create a new shape as decorative.
