<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">and have a look at the three Word files in it. They are identical except for the MathType alt text. One has alt text as words (eg a x squared plus b x plus c equals 0), the other two have Nemeth in the alt text, one using ASCII font, and the other using Unicode font. The alt text is accessible with all screen readers. If your student reads with a braille display, this is a much better solution than MathPage, because it is braille. And of course, it is also the original Word document, so your footers and headers are thre.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:1.0in"><u></u><span>b.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><u></u>If we have footnotes (we use the footnote function in Word to create them), the output to MathPage fails.<u></u><u></u></p>
