Hi,
my name is Anshul Singhal. One of my friend has sent me a .pps file which have lots of math symbols. These
symbols are created using Math Type. Now when I am opening this file in my machine, all the images gets
distort. In the laptops and windows 2000 server, it is working fine but not on other machines. Please let me
know about the problem and the solution.
MathType uses special fonts for its symbols. It sounds as though these fonts aren't installed on your
computer but they are on your laptops and server.
Do you have Office with PowerPoint on your computer, or are you using the free Viewer to view the PPS?
If you have Office, try re-running SETUP and choose a Custom install.
One of the options will be to install Equation Editor (a baby-version of MathType).
Choose that option, change nothing else and let the setup complete.
That will add Equation Editor (and with luck, the same fonts as MathType uses) to your computer and (again
with luck) the equations will look correct.
