MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Problem editing MS Equation 3.0 Objects in Powerpoint 2003
One of my PCs has a problem editing any objects that I put in to it from Equation Editor (or Word, etc.). I get a message that "Microsoft Office Powerpoint can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred...", and if I say no, I get a second error that "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error. You may need....." If I say yes, it tries to repair the software, but ends up giving the second error when done anyway. I can add and edit Equation objects within Word without problems. I have uninstalled Office 2003, cleaned the registry from references to Powerpoint or Equation, the reinstalled including service packs, to no avail. I am totally frustrated, and am not sure what to do at this point.

That's pretty surprising actually; normally it's the Office plug-in in Norton Antivirus that causes that. Couple of options here... 1. Try opening Equation Editor separately. To do that, click Start > Run > Browse, and choose Equation Editor from this path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\EQUATION\EQNEDT32.EXE When you click OK, that should open Equation Editor separately, then you can use it in PowerPoint via copy & paste. 2. Try the MathType evaluation from the link below. We created the Equation Editor to license to Microsoft, but it was created from MathType, so MathType has many more symbols, templates, and other features (one of which is equation color). When you install MathType, it will put an icon onto your PowerPoint toolbar that you'll use to insert equations. (The icon is a blue capital Greek letter Sigma.) There's no manual with MathType, but the Help file is pretty extensive and has several tutorials to get you started.
