Entering equations

Aurora adds a toolbar button to PowerPoint, Visio, and Excel that lets you insert equations with a single click. Here is how this button works in each of these three programs:

PowerPoint

To make equations in presentations more readable, “Insert equation” makes them roughly twice bigger than the regular size. Also, for equations rendered using the raster method, Aurora sets the equation's background color to match the slide color. However, since this only works for solid fills, vector rendering methods are recommended when using complex/themed backgrounds.

Visio

If a shape is already selected when you press “Insert equation,” the new equation is centered inside the selected shape and the two are grouped—this way, the equation and the parent shape move together. To edit an equation that is a part of a group, select it and choose Formula Object, Edit in the right-click menu.

Excel

New equations are placed in the top-left corner of the current cell.
