Dear John, Okay, I think that I have solved the issue. The clue was in https://hackage.haskell.org/package/texmath-0.8.6.5/changelog where it states "Fixed overbrace, underbrace (#82). Previously we were using the wrong character: U+FE37 instead of U+23DE. This didn't work in Word." If I switch the unicode character in the input mathML then the conversion does then work correctly in a simple test. The mathML does still render correctly so I guess I need to switch unicode under and over braces. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your time.
