>Hello,
>I have been in correspondence with Janice Hertz at Microsoft about the
>inaccessability of the
>Microsoft Office equation editor.
>Please write letters to mswish@microsoft.com explaining
>how the lack of access to mathematics access in Microsoft Office affects your
>education or work.
>If you can represent yourself as an employee of a corporation with whom
>Microsoft does business, this will give your letter
>more weight.
>
>The outcome we desire is that a committed effort be taken to export
>Microsoft Office files
>containing mathematics into latex version 2E and for the future, MathML.
>In addition, an equation editor accessible to the blind would allow us
>to co-author mathematic documents side by side with our sighted peers and
>without sighted assistence.
>Please CC your letters to me (jmiller@ucsd.edu).
>Thank you,
>John
