[Nfb-science] MathPlayer and MS Word Question

[Currin, Kevin]

Hi JooYoung,

You also have to install Math Type for NVDA to read equations in microsoft word and powerpoint. NVDA actually reads Math Type equations, not microsoft word equations, so you have to convert the microsoft word equations to Math Type equations (which is just a matter of selecting it and picking an option from the menu bar. You can also type the equation in LaTeX, select it, and press alt+back slash to convert it to Math Type.

There is a free 30-day trial of Math Type on their website. The full version isn't too expensive for what it is either.

Thanks,

Kevin

Subject: [Nfb-science] MathPlayer and MS Word Question

  Hello all,

  As some of you know, NVDA started supporting math contents in Firefox and
MS word with DesignScience's MathPlayer installed.

  I/ve installed MathPlayer 4 public beta and NVDA 2015.2 and was able to
access MathML in Firefox well. For some reason, however, NVDA doesn't read
the Math Equation written in MS word. It just says something like object.

  Does anybody know how to enable MathPlayer Plug-in in MS word? I am using
office 2013.

  Any help would be so much appreciated.

  Many thanks.



       JooYoung
