How to insert equations to PowerPoint and Google Docs
To insert math, move the cursor where you would like to insert it, then copy and paste an equation from our desktop app into the Mini Editor below, or click the "Open in Full Editor" button below and continue editing in the Full Editor. Alternatively, you may go to "Add-ons" menu and click "Insert/Edit Math" from the Hypatia submenu. When you are done editing, click "Insert" to add the equation to your document.
In this guide, we show how to use LaTeX in Google Docs and Power Point with maximum efficiency. The combination of a formula OCR tool and special extensions can greatly facilitate the creation of documents and presentations with math and tables.
