In presentations where you report data, it is not uncommon to want to include equations to help explain how the results were calculated. Microsoft Office 2000 includes a tool for creating equations called Microsoft Equation 3.0.
Equations are a type of object.
To create an equation, select Microsoft Equation 3.0 from the list of available objects. If that option is not available in the object list, the application was probably not installed with PowerPoint 2000. You will need to rerun the setup program if you want to install it. The Equation Editor works like Microsoft Organization Chart. The Equation Editor runs in a separate window.
