Help needed with Mathematical Symbols

I can see two ways:

1.  Create the formula as an image and insert that as an answer.

2.  Choose the symbol font and insert the symbol using the keyboard.  For example, Pi would be alt+0112.

Thanks Brent,

I was was trying to avoid the alt process because I use a great many symbols in my engineering courses. 

I will play with both approaches to see which requires least amount of work

Symbols are available in storyline. Under fonts choose symbols.

Press p key on keyboard to get symbol "pi".

Other keys will likewise return other Mathis symbols.

Philip, maybe I am doing something wrong.

When I create a quiz slide and select Numeric I cannot see any option to insert a symbol when entering the question text. The editor is extremely basic on the quiz slides.

The only alternative I can come up with is to create the question with symbols using MS Word - copy the string and paste into the quiz question.

Ken, I assume you are using storyline as I only have that software.

Have a look at sample below.

Make a normal slide.

Insert a text box or shape, then insert a symbol.

The symbol button is next to the text box, lots to choose from.

Then convert your slide to freeform i.e. choose "insert" tab .... select  "convert to freeform".
