[Norton AntiSpam]RE: [Athen] CWU's Central Access Reader

Thanks that is not the issue, I am going to try it on a different machine.
The issue was getting it to download with a known security compromise in it.

I have successfully installed both the Mac and Windows(7) versions -- the
Win version indicates it's for 64bit OS, maybe that's your issue? I saw no
alerts with the Win install.

More on this, the file contains some components that will not pass your
security software due to known issues.  I am still trying to work through
those but at this point cannot get it to install even when I disable my
anti-everything software.

Hi all, this is based on PT Reader which Sean and I shared with many of you
over the last couple of years though it is interesting to see the change to
support for MS Word format only.

 

It is going to be interesting to see if this suffers from the same IE issues
as other related tools, I hope not, but I am also not overly optimistic.  It
is on my list of things to play with and I have some pretty gnarly files to
throw at it.

Central Washington University has a free tool (Mac and Windows OS) for
consuming electronic text in Word format, including Math content. It's
called the Central Access Reader and looks very promising. 

 

One cool feature is that there are different settings for different kinds of
math, so the user can change between algebra, calculus, statistics, etc.

 

Math content can be created with Word's Equation Editor or MathType

 

I believe it's still under development. The price is free. Check it out.
