One way to place equations in Pages documents
Authored by: lihtox on Aug 22, '07 08:14:16AM
Since everyone else is suggesting alternatives, consider the freeware program LaTeXiT

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/math_science/latexit.html

It requires you to know a little LaTeX (not that difficult) to formulate your equations, but it lets you save equations to use later, and it's free.

I've also noticed recently that if you paste a LaTeXiT equation into OmniOutliner, you can right-click on the equation and edit it. I don't know if this is a feature of LaTeXiT or of OmniOutliner; it doesn't seem to work in Keynote 3.0.2 or in TextEdit.

LaTeXiT embeds the original LaTeX source code line in the PDF. So, even if the equation is no longer in it's history window you can use copy/paste or drag & drop to re-edit a PDF equation in LaTeXiT's window. The right-click feature is probably Outliner's option to edit the graphic in the program that created it.

That is because both LaTeXiT and OmniOutliner are LinkBack savvy:

It is possible to edit the equation in Keynote if you use the plugin which adds LinkBack support to Keynote:
