Embed latex equations in mail messages
Authored by: googoo on Sep 02, '03 03:45:12PM

The real advantage of Equation Service is that you can embed equations as PDF objects in Keynote presentations (or any Cocoa app, for that matter). You can take advantage of transparency, and once you have your equation into PDF form, resizing it in Keynote is easily done graphically without it looking bit-mapped! (Try doing either of these in PowerPoint.)

Detailed instructions are available on the Equation Service Web site.

Equations in Power Point
Authored by: hamarkus on Sep 03, '03 04:41:57AM

The only way I know of to put resizable vector graphics (e.g. equations) into Powerpoint is to convert them into Windows Meta files (e.g. via Illustrator). Other formats (e.g. PDF) print out fine from Powerpoint but are displayed on screen as bitmaps, visible when one tries to resize them.
Conversion into .wmf does not always work perfectly but most issues can be fixed by fiddling with fonts etc.
