How can I put equatons to powerpoint 2007?

[Femolth]

I'm digitalizing the high school's theory of physics, for my students, so I
can show it through a video projector in power point.

The equation tool from word doesnt work soI cant copy paste an equation from
Word.

I can insert word document as an object but wont this mess up things if i
end up having tens of arrays?

In oledr version of word there was a "math" plug in. Was that working better
and most importantly, was that working on power point too?

The same Equation Editor that was in Office 2003 is also in Office
2007, and can be used in both Word and PPT. To access it in PPT 2007,
in the Text group on the Ribbon's Insert tab, click on Object. This
will bring up the same Insert Object dialog you're used to seeing in
pre-2007 versions of Office. Select Microsoft Equation 3.0 from the
list.

In PPT 2003, it was possible to drag an Equation Editor icon to the
toolbar, but you can't do that in PPT 2007. One solution is to put
Insert/Object on the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT -- it's in the upper
left of the PPT window, to the right of the Office icon). That's only
marginally helpful though. We have an article on our website that
shows how to record a macro to insert an Equation Editor equation in
PPT. You can put an icon on the QAT that launches this macro, and the
article tells how to do that too.

This information might be a useful addition to the FAQ page that
Michael mentioned in his response.

Of course MathType works in PPT too, and it adds a MathType tab to the
PPT and Word Ribbons.

Oops -- I need to correct my earlier post. It's possible to record a
macro in Word 2007, but not PowerPoint 2007. (You can use macros in
PPT 2007, you just can't record one.) The article I mentioned was
written specifically to show how to add an Equation Editor icon to
Word 2007's QAT. Sorry for any confusion. Let me blame this on lack of
sleep and intracontinental travel. I figure that's as good an excuse
as any. ;-)
