Note that I use MathType with MS Word to produce these documents. If you go to http://www.dessci.com/en/ and download it, you will get all the fonts needed to see equations and symbols in correct form. You do not need to buy it. Your version will convert to the “lite” version after 30 days, but you will still have the fonts for viewing.
