Date:2019-9-17 Author:Olivia

Sometimes you might need to insert a math equation in PowerPoint document, and fortunately Microsoft Office has this capability. If the built-in equations don’t meet the actual needs, you could edit or modify them or enter your own equation by handwriting, especially those with complex symbols and structures. Here I’d like to share 2 tips and let’s have a look:

Tip 1: Insert Equation Directly

1. Go to Insert tab and click Equation in Symbols group.

If you want to reenter the formula, click Clear button then everything in the handwriting board will be deleted.
