Dear John,

Thanks for the information below. For some reason I didn't see your 
response when you posted it. I have just now tried the latest version of 
pandoc from the downloads page (pandoc 2.1.1 Compiled with pandoc-types 
1.17.3, texmath 0.10.1, skylighting 0.6) and I am getting the same problem. 
The output in linear format of Word is ((xxx…xx)┬(} ))┬n which does not 
render correctly. This seems to be about the same as what I was getting 
before: ((xxx…xx)┬⏟)┬n and not what I would expect to get: ⏟(xxx…xx)┬n

From what I can tell the binary is using a version of texmath that contains 
the below mentioned fix?

Thanks for any help you can give us. 
Emma
