[Blindmath] MathPlayer 4.0 beta 1 and Microsoft Word documents

[Bishop, Jeff - (jeffbis)]

Yes, we are using NVDA 2015.3. Placing the cursor on the equation and pressing NVDA+alt+m reports "not math". On one machine I got it to work after installing MathType which according to Design Science is required even though their web site does not mention this fact. They replied to me on Twitter about this.

Hi,
Can you verify nvda is saying the math correctly when you simply move with the arrow keys to the equation? Which version of nvda are you using? also, move the l and r arrow keys until nvda reports the equation (assuming this works) and then try nvda+alt+m. Does this work? If not, something isn't right, and it may take more digging.

I have gotten it to work on one machine but others have failed after following the same steps. NVDA is reporting that the equation is "not math".
