MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006Powerpoint 2007 Equation Editor Problems
I am unable to use Powerpoint 2007 with the equation editor (insert object/equation editor 3.0). It compresses the equation together and is totally useless. When i try to drag the handles the size of the equation can be changed but it the elements remain overprinted and the right side cut off. Does anyone know what can be done about this? Why doesn't the new equation editor in Word work also in Powerpoint? I have to do a public presentation with equations and I am getting desperate. I suggest that you do your presentation with a non beta version.

I don't know what happens when you uninstall a beta version. I would believe that if you uninstall you will be left with nothing. Probably why Microsoft suggest that you do not put beta on if you only have one computer.

In addition to what Michael and Steve answered: Office 2007 comes with a lot of new fonts. These could cause printing problems, if your printer overrides them with some other font. Try to stick to the good old standard fonts like Arial, TimesNewRoman, Symbol, especially if editing unusual objects like formulas.

You probably aren't in the mood for a scolding about the dangers of beta software and the folly of getting yourself in a situation where you have to depend on it and can't revert to the previous version. So I'll zip it. But try this: After inserting the equation and before doing ANYTHING else to it, rightclick and choose COPY. Next click the HOME tab At the far left of the ribbon, click the downarrow under Paste and choose Paste Special. In the dialog box that comes up, choose Enhanced Metafile. Now you can scale it up by dragging the corners and so on. The results here look quite reasonable. Far far better than what the Insert originally supplied. Good luck with your presentation and never ever put any trust in beta software again. "Beta" is softwaredeveloperspeak for "chock full of bugs" ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
