AI Thread Summary
To insert LaTeX equations into Microsoft PowerPoint slides, several methods and tools are discussed. Online converters like the one at hausheer.osola.com and TexPoint are recommended for converting LaTeX to images. IguanaTex is highlighted as a free PowerPoint plug-in that allows users to insert LaTeX equations directly. A practical shortcut involves using Acrobat Reader to view LaTeX output in PDF, copying the equation, and pasting it into PowerPoint, which saves time and avoids installation. Additionally, tools like Tex4PPT offer the advantage of editing the original LaTeX code and updating the rendered image, as they embed the LaTeX code within the image file.

Thanks! These links will be very useful to me!
 
A fallback might be the equation editor that is built into Powerpoint.

Another PowerPoint plug-in for inserting Latex equations is IguanaTex:

Unlike TexPoint, you can download it for free.

There is a shortcut that has saved me a lot of time and grief. No need to install anything.
I view the output of the LaTeX in pdf, using Acrobat Reader. Then I highlight the equation, save it to the clipboard, go to Powerpoint and paste it!
 
I just started using IguanaTex (for Powerpoint 2000, 2003, and 2007).
One advantage of it (and TexPoint and
http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/srg/softwaretools/presentation/TeX4PPT/ for 2003 and
http://sites.google.com/site/tex4ppt/ for 2007)
over the online image-renderers [which have been very useful!]
is that you can edit the original LaTeX and update the rendered-image.

I believe the LaTeX code is embedded in the image file,
which is extracted by these offline tools.
