Equation in PowerPoint 2007

[Berto]

Hello,

When I insert an equation object into a slide, or when I open a ppt file
with equation objects, using powerpoint 2007 there's a visualization
problem. All characters are overlapped, and the equation is not readeable.
It's a bug, or there's another method to include equations in my slides?

Bye

It's a bug. Hopefully it will be fixed for B2 technical refresh.

For the moment try to copy-paste the equation as a .jpg image

Bug.

In addition to the other suggestions, try this:

Select the equation
Copy
Paste Special, as WMF or EMF (one may work better than the other ... try both)

I haven't tried this myself, but one user reported that selecting the
equation text and changing the font to Cambria Math seemed to make it at
least legible.

I've tried this but it's not the solution. The characters are overlapped and
equations are not readable.

Too bad. It might have been a workaround. The only solution right now is
to use PPT 2003, or wait till it has been fixed by Microsoft.
