[Blindmath] MathType, word and reading existing documents

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
Thanks for that. There were a couple of problems at my end, probably the biggest being that the version of MathType on my windows PC was quite old. Also I was trying ctrl-\.

One final quick question, does toggling to TeX input mode change all equations in the document or does it only change the current one? When I realised about the version issue and updated I had found the menu option and this didn't seem to change all equations.
