[Blindmath] Physics Lab Report

[John Gardner]

You can buy MathType from Design Science, http://www.dessci.com, but if 
you are a university student, your campus may have a site license, so 
check with your IT department first.

I believe that the latest MathType works with all versions of Word on 32 
bit operating systems, but you should not trust my memory.  The Design 
Science web site will tell you for sure what your system requirements are.
