Display equations with Articulate
Apr 26, 2011
Hi, folks. This is one of the questions asked in advance of the European Conference in Leeds - I am hoping that, by posting it here, we may get some more ideas for the participants to ponder over on the day. Also, apologies if these questions have already been answered elsewhere - the fault is entirely mine for not looking properly. Now the question and many thanks in advance to you all for your suggestions:
Is there a reliable way to display equations without them resorting to gif images and pixellating?

I was going to suggest the image method nonetheless... In PowerPoint 2010 you can right-click on an object and save it as an image. I have found this to work much better for me than if I took a screenshot of the object/equation/whatever it was... Very little pixellation/distortion afterwards. But there may be alternatives out there.
Here are a number of links that should answer your question.Based on what I am seeing, MS has an Equation Editor that you download and install that will allow you to add equations to your Power Point Slides.
here is a YouTube Video as wel..
Good Luck.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you, James
Update: just checked on my machine and the equation editor is built into PowerPoint 2010. Nothing to donwload / install! Yey! Go Microsoft!
If you find yourself doing that right-click stuff a lot to copy-paste as png (or your'e using an older version off PPT) you may want to use this PPT addon http://elearningenhanced.com/products/cut-n-paste-png-add-powerpoint
What a brilliant add-in, James! Thank you!
