                      Introduction

                      Several values that control MathPage may be overridden. On the Mac, these values can be stored in the file MathPageUserSettings.ini, located in the MathPage folder inside the MathType folder. On Windows, store the values in the registry under the following keys:

                      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wiris\DSMT6\MathPage

                      If a value is not defined, MathPage uses the default value shown below.
