I have noticed that, when using the native Equation tools functionality (which has replaced the old Equation Editor) that some of the structures are not allowed in Powerpoint 2013, and specifically they get changed to their more compact counterparts. This is true of the full-size "Stacked Fraction," which gets changed to the "Compact Fraction" with no way that I can find to make it a "Stacked Fraction." This also happens with the limits on summation symbols and integral signs, it automatically changes the forms with the limits above/below the symbol to the forms where the limits follow the symbol. All of the structures work properly in Word, it is just in Powerpoint that they do this. Even taking an equation created in Word and pasting it into Powerpoint will change the formatting of the structures.
Anyone have any ideas how to get Powerpoint to quit doing this? And and all help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I have tried using MathType, but I don't like the spacing and line weights quite as well as the native tool, and I also greatly prefer the ability to make the equations in-line with text, as opposed to a stand-alone object as with MathType.
Can you expand upon your answer a bit? – bwDraco – 2015-01-24T16:45:03.303
