<p>There's no need for any additional tags. If using the most current versions of NVDA<a></a> or Window-Eyes, then you can get native reading of the math equations in a Word document as long as you have MathPlayer4<a></a> installed:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/default.htm">http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/default.htm</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>JAWS does not yet have this capability to natively read math in the Word document itself, but if you use the MathPage<a></a> export feature in MathType<a></a> and use the HTML+MathJax<a></a> setting JAWS should be able to read the exported web page.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">Hi Everyone,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">I am in the process of creating some trigonometric worksheets in Word. I am interesting in making them accessible so visually challenged students who are using readers can access them. I am using Office 2007,
Word 2010 and MathType 6.9. I have no issues on how to create math items using MathType in general. However, I am not sure how to make them accessible. Currently, when I use the incline feature of MathType, type in my math problem and save it to the Word
document it shows that it is not accessible because there is no alt-tag. Based on my research, MathType is supposed to make the math accessible, I believe that it creates a MathML tag? So I am wondering if I missed a step or two or perhaps I am misunderstanding
something. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">I am having a hard time finding anything helpful that tells me how to make math that I type in MathType and save as part of a Word document accessible for students using readers. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">Is the math I created through MathType accessible when the alt tag is blank?? OR am I missing a step or two??</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">Can anyone help me?</span></p>
