[NFB-Science] Progress In Using Microsoft Programs For Mathematics

[Louis Maher]

Hello,

Last year at the NFBCS virtual seminar in December, Brian Richwine gave a talk summarized as:
------
I will discuss the recent improvements that make using MS Word a possibility for communicating mathematics (MathCAT in NVDA/JAWS, the JAWS Math Editor, improvements in Word, etc.), discuss why MS Word is an important medium,
the promise, the caveats, the hope for improvements, current best practices, a quick demo, and then point to the how-to resources.
------

His group, working with Microsoft and the Daisy consortium has this progress to report:
Microsoft added lots more support for MathML in Word and PowerPoint<https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft365insiderblog/writing-and-presenting-about-math-is-easy-and-inclusive-with-microsoft-365/4439216>

There will be another NFBCS virtual seminar in December 2025, and a joint NABS/Science and Engineering virtual seminar in February 2026. Stay tuned.

Enjoy.
