Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / June 2006PC Equation obects not displaying in Powerpoint and Word
I'm using the student edition of Office on a 15" (titanium) powerbook running MacOS 10.4 and I'm having trouble viewing Powerpoint and Word files (created on a Windoze PC). It does not display Equation objects. Although there is a workaround (double clicking these objects to open them in Equation and then closing Equation) it is not practical for the hundreds of equations the files contain! Powerpoint is also failing to display some pictures. There doesn't appear to be a workaround for this, but it's not such a big problem as the vast majority of pictures display OK. Does anyone know of a fix for these problems? > I'm using the student edition of Office on a 15" (titanium) > powerbook running MacOS 10.4 and I'm having trouble [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > them in Equation and then closing Equation) it is not > practical for the hundreds of equations the files contain! Practical or not, it's the only way to do it in PowerPoint. It's also the only way to do it in Word unless you download the evaluation of MathType (available at the link in my signature). Once you install MathType, there will be a MathType menu in Word. One of the items in that menu is "Convert equations". Click the radio button that says you want to convert to MathType equations. When you click OK, all the equations will be converted to the Macintosh graphic format. Note they'll also be converted to MathType objects, and will no longer be readable by Equation Editor. (After the 30-day evaluation period of MathType, it will remain fully functional, but many features will become disabled. The "Convert equations" feature is one of the features that is disabled after the evaluation period.)
