Dear John, Sorry, I should have tested more extensively. You are correct, this does fix the LaTeX to Word conversion. However, we are actually converting MathML to Word. When I originally reported it I got the same incorrect result on conversion from LaTeX to Word and on conversion from MathML to Word so I reported both at once as I assumed, obviously incorrectly that the two issues had the same cause. I have now checked everything and the situation is: LaTeX to Word is now producing the correct output MathML to Word is still producing incorrect output The MathML is: x x x … x x ︸ n The above renders correctly in Firefox (native rendering) and using MathJax. I am pretty sure that this is the right MathML? I attach a screenshot of what I get when I render the above and the output of the transform to Word. I'll keep trying to work out what is actually happening.
