<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=881270620-08012007><FONT face=Arial

you are going to be accessing the document from the local computer (e.g. not
uploaded to a Web server). Also, you will need to download the MathPlayer
plug-in from the Design Science website (<A

subscripts & superscripts in JAWS<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>My day for questions:<BR><BR>I'm trying to get JAWS to read
subscripts & superscripts (for math equations). (BTW - I'm using mathtype to
convert items in Word "equation editor" format). However, though I've gone into
the "configuration manager" in JAWS, "speech & sound functions" and
specifically set JAWS to read subscripts & superscripts but with no luck -
JAWS is still reading this stuff like standard text. Any
suggestions?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Howard<BR><BR><X-SIGSEP>
