I once used Microsoft Equation in powerpoint. It is very unfriendly to use
and finally I gave up.

Now, I am using TexPoints in writing math equations in powerpoint. But, it
is found that the file size will become very big when a few equations are
embeded.

Can you plz suggest some other ways in writing math equations in
powerpoint. Thank you very much.

One thing you can try is *not* to use Powerpoint. Look at Beamer class.

What math formula were you having problems with in Equation Editor? It gets
quite easy once you understand what you have to do to get your equation. I
would be more than happy to assist using it.

Have you heard of MathType (which is an upgrade from Equation Editor? It
has a little better color capabilities than Equation Editor.

I'm not familiar with TexPoints. It may be that it's embedding OLE data as
well as an image for display.

First, make sure you've set PPT up properly:

Do this before using PowerPoint seriously

Then on a COPY of your original PPT file (because this may be destructive) try
ungrouping the equations. Save the PPT to a new name and see if the file's
smaller.
