RESOURCE FOR INSERTING FORMULAE IN TO DOCUMENTS

John Peckham
Does anyone know of any software (hopefully free) that would allow me easily to inset formulas in to documents such as Word or PowerPoint on a PC/


Thanks in anticipation.

    MS Word has an equation editor built in if it helps?

    ("Insert" tab --> "Symbols"  --> "Equation" (pi symbol))


    Can't remember if PowerPoint has it internally but I would expect you can copy/paste from Word if not.


    It can cope with most requirements, certainly in relatively small volumes such as quoting formulae in a report... A complex proof might be a bit more laborious, but last time I did anything like that it had to be hard-coded in LaTeX, way back at uni!
