                      Internet Explorer (IE) Enterprise mode

                      The technology that allows MathPlayer to display MathML in IE has been dropped from newer versions of IE. However, IE 11 introduced a way for legacy programs to work in IE. They call this new feature "Enterprise Mode". It forces IE 11 to emulate IE 8, which is a version of IE that supports the technology MathPlayer needs to be able to display math. When MathPlayer displays math in the page, this also means the math is accessible to assistive technology that works with MathPlayer.

                      When MathPlayer 4 is installed on your computer, it enables you to turn on Enterprise Mode for any page you visit. This setting is remembered, so you need to do this only once per page. To turn on Enterprise Mode for a page, use Internet Explorer's Tools menu and select "Enterprise Mode". This is a toggle, so selecting it again will turn it off for that page. The keyboard shortcut for this is Alt+t, Alt+r, enter.

                      There are a few things to know about Enterprise Mode:

                      • It forces IE 11 to emulate an older version of IE. This means that newer features and standards will not be handled properly. In particular, if a page makes use of newer features of CSS, it may not display well. Large sites such as Wikipedia currently avoid making use of these features so for most sites, there won't be a problem.
                      • You can not turn on Enterprise Mode for local Web pages, such as those you might generate from Word via MathType's "Publish to MathPage" feature. Instead, you can directly force it to emulate IE 8 by adding the line:<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />to the head of the document.
