people who are starting to use this new MathType/MathPlayer technology to make
math accessible. This technology is really easy, but one has to set or
reset some Word or MathType options properly. These are my notes on those
settings. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=687010719-13112007><FONT

just copying it below FYI. Hope it's helpful to anybody needing to make
math accessible.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
