Hi, Does anyone know of a program that allows you to import equations from LaTeX into Powerpoint? Thanks

What programs do you guys use to draw figures to insert into LaTeX? I only have crappy "paint" - not sure that will cut it.

I will give that a try. Couple of other annoying problems: My references are printing out but the numbers in the text aren't printing. All i get is [?]. My contents page doesn't want to seem to print out either, it just comes up with a blank page once it has been printed out?

Are you using the AMS package? I just put in \usepackage{ams} or whatever, and the substack worked in the \equation environment, but then went completely mental in the \eqnarray environment- thus I guess I will have to change all of the commands to AMS ones right? Not sure I have the time to do...

Thanks for the reply. I seem to have enough brackets. I am inputing: \begin{equation} \sum_{\substack{{\bf 1},{\bf 2} \\{\bf 1}\neq{\bf 2}}} = \sum^\prime_{{\bf 1},{\bf 2}} \end{equation} I get the error message "undefined control sequence" ...

Hi guys, Basically I need to have 2 lines underneath a sum, but when I use the {\ substack} command it makes no difference. Any ideas how I can remedy this?

Hi guys, What exactly is an order parameter? What does the order parameter in BCS Theory represent? I can't find anything on this anywhere. Thanks in advance Tom

AT LAST! Thank you everyone for your advice!

I have installed Basic MiKTeX (to the directory c:\texmf). Then when I open TeXniccenter it asks me to "enter the full path of the directory, where the executables(latex, tex, etc.) of your TeX distribution are located". So when I put in c:\texmf, since I thought MiKTeX was my...

Right, still no closer. Is it simply enough to download the MiKTeX Basic system and TeXniccenter?

Ok, so i typed in c:\texmf as my installation directory, and it seems to be going ahead now...So thanks for that I still feel like I have got no idea as to what is going on though.

I did both. I can't understand why this still won't work. To be honest I don't really understand what I actually need for this to work. I tried downloading proTeX, which I did. It seems that it came with miktex, so when I came to install miktex it asks me to choose the location for the...

Guys, thanks for the editor suggestions and all, but at the end of the day I can't install MikteX fully because it keeps telling me that the directory isn't empty, and since I have no clue what this means I can't go any further. Someone here must know how I can sort this?

I am following these guidelines: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/LaTe ... nloads.php When I open TeXnicCenter and it asks me for the "full path of the directory where the executables" are located, and I give it C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.5\miktex\bin - it comes up with an error message...

Hi people, I am totally crap with computers and I have tried numerous times to install a LaTeX program onto my computer and each time it doesn't seem to work, for whatever reason. There always seems to be extra files to download and I am totally lost as to what I actually need. Could...
