PPT X - Equation Colors

[rweller]

How do I change the color of an equation from black to another color? I am
running PPT-Office X.

I have both equation editor and MathType (OS9-only application). Neither of
these allow changing
font color.

I tried "format object: recolor" in PPT, but it says there is nothing to
reformat.

Anyone have a workaround?

Hi

Other than pasting the equations into a drawing program like Photoshop and
using that to recolor the equations, I don't think there's a built-in way.

Thanks for the reply. I did find a work around, but it only works in
MathType (Classic app). In MathType, you go to Other Preferences and change
"tune graphics output for" to "Screen display only". This appears to get rid
of the postscript output, but leaves the preview (pict) image, which you can
then recolor in PPT.

I suspect that the downside is that the equation will no longer print. But
at least it looks nice for the presentation!

I hope MathType is made a Cocoa or Carbon (OS-X compatible) app soon. I HATE
launching classic.

A Carbon version of MathType that matches functionality with the
Windows version will be available around the end of the year. See
