[Blindmath] sci notebook and duxbury woes

[Lewicki, Maureen]

Thanks. So Duxbury supports SN? I thought they did not, but that may have indeed been a few years ago. 

By the way, I think some of the docs are produced in math-type, so bringing them into SN also confuses things!

opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance."Kenneth Jernigan

Is Scientific Notebook still being maintained and sold? I thought it was very good a few years back, but it has not been updated or maintained for some time now. I may be totaly wrong, but would be good to know this for sure.
MathType does its thing pretty decently, I can attest to that, and it is probably the quickest/simplest interface with mainstream math editors (i.e. Word with MathType), though of course it's all about people finding out what works for them, and then going with it.
