Hi Jim.
could i have your spreadsheet, which gives calculations of how to size and
spacing and align controls on a visual basic form.
if so, could you e-mail it to me today, if you can find it.
got a final test soon for my programming class and want to get this nailed,
so it reads well with jaws and looks visually appealing to the sighted user.
cheers Marvin.

Hi,
I wouldn't care as long as there is an option to see the original
Math Latex.
If I remember correctly, Wikipedia does that.

Subject accessible math
I am a web producer for The College Board. The College Board is a
not-for-profit membership association whose mission is to connect students to
college success and opportunity. We are always trying to improve the
accessibility of our web site and have recently started using Math Latex to
generate math images for the sample PSAT questions we post on our site.
My question to you is, does it make any difference if all the values and
variables and symbols are images as long as they are alt-tagged? For instance,
there may be cases where we would use Math Latex to generate an image for "-2",
so that we can alt-tag it as "negative 2" and then in that context we might
also use Math Latex to generate an image for "2", so we can provide visual
consistency for other users (since of course the numbers that are images LOOK
different from the numbers that are not).
In your opinion, should we avoid using images for math equations unless we
absolutely need to, or is it okay as long as everything is alt-tagged?
I thank you for your help!
