Word XML should support MathML to display mathematical equations

[Stephen H]

Instead of forcing Academics and researchers to use specialized math software
to create formulas and then take a screenshot or export to an image,
Microsoft Word's XML format should support embedding of MathML markup
language format for displaying advanced mathematical equations.

Hi Stephen,

Until Word gets native MathML support (if it ever does), get MathType
from www.dessci.com. See
http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/features.htm#MathML for
some description of its capability. There's a free 30-day demo.

Hi Stephen,

You may want to also post this in the Office XML newsgroup.
The folks who are working on the Office 12 XML file formats
have been known to drop by there (link below).
