[Blindmath] MathType for daisy books

Tue Oct 18 17:11:39 UTC 2016

Please see the documentation at
http://www.dessci.com/en/reference/ies-ets/instructional_material/default.htm#navigation_guide.
There a quick reference guide along with tutorial material there. From our
studies (using Word and NVDA), navigation was quite helpful for the
students in the study.
