[Blindmath] Math Type Translation Troubles

[Caryn Navy]

Hello Sarah.

I have taken a look at your file. My first guess is that the equations in the Word document where my screen reader (JAWS) says, "graphic text box" or "graphic line" are the equations that disappear when opening the document in DBT.

Also, in the equation that you mentioned on page 70 in the Word document, I think the letters were entered in a text style font. As a result, DBT thinks that the material is going in and out of technical notation. When I delete the codes for starting and ending technical notation within this equation in DBT, that seems more like it. Perhaps we can look into creating a MathType importing option for DBT to ignore the use of text style within an equation.

All the best,
Caryn

Sarah,

What you uploaded to Dropbox was only the shortcut to your file. The
shortcut still points to a file on your computer. Please upload the actual
docx file and we can look at it.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi all,
I used MS Word 2010, Math Type 6.9 and DBT 11.2 to translate the file below
into a .brf file with Nemeth code. It worked pretty well, but then I got
further into the document and realized that some formulas were mistranslated
and others were missing entirely. Opening the original file and attempting
the alt-\ command to translate troublesome formulae into LaTeX crashed Word.
Does anyone know what might be going wrong, and what I can do to fix it? The
file can be found at
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12727315/Financial%20Economics%20Course%
20Pack%20-%20Original%20-%20Copy.docx.lnk
A missing formula can be found on page 57, under the paragraph that ends "If
we do so (and you are not required to) then the optimal portfolio of risky
assets will be"
An example of a mistranslated formula (or one that just looks funny) can be
found on page 70 in the solution to Example-1. These are not the only
examples, but it would appear everything before page 57 is readable.

Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Sarah
