Getting Equations into Powerpoint
Getting Equations into Powerpoint
There is another approach I should mention that makes use of the equation editor built into MS Office products. There is a commercial version of the program with more features that you can get from MathType. The catch here it that MathType for some reason supports any color for the math fonts as long it is black. To lighten the color in order to have it be visible on a dark background, one must perform a change in color on the equation once it is loaded back into the slide. For the Macintosh version, however, this will not work as one would like. Instead, there are some extra steps, described here by the MathType technical support folks as:
Powerpoint cannot recolor bitmaps or graphics that contain PostScript. Open MathType and choose Preferences>Other Preferences. Make sure that you are tuning graphics for ``Screen Display Only'', so that MathType creates them as PICTs without PostScript code. Powerpoint should then let you recolor them. To re-tune existing equations, double-click on them to open and choose File>Update.
