Ofiice for Mac Powerpoint: equations not showing

[markeus]

I am using office for mac and in powerpoint I have downloaded slides from some of my classes in school and non of the equations that have been inserted into the slides will show up.. I assume they were put in using some kind of equation editor and more than likely on a windows version of the software.. has anyone has a similar problem that may be able to offer a solution???
Thanks

Check in the Office folder in Applications to see if Equation Editor is installed. If it isn't, install it from the Office discs.

Equations should appear whether the user has Equation Editor installed or not. It sounds like the presentation author used an obscure format for the equations. Have him send you a PDF copy of the presentation. You will probably have to use Equation Editor to recreate the equations.
