Inline equations in PowerPoint

Is it really true that there is no way at all to insert equations (either Word 2007 math or the old Equation Editor) “inline” in a PowerPoint 2007 slide?

It certainly seems to be so, but I have a hard time believing that the users have accepted this for so long when I’m sure I’ve done this in word processors as early as 1997.

Answer

You’re correct — PowerPoint 2007 does not allow inline graphics of any kind, including equations. The only work-around of which I’m aware is in this article on using MathType with PowerPoint: http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/works_with.htm?target=powerpoint (scroll down near the bottom, to the section on animating equations, and look for the section below the screen shots of PPT 2003 and PPT 2004).
