Use LaTeX in PowerPoint
A PowerPoint add-in that converts LaTeX equation syntax into native Office equation objects using a VBA macro. It bridges the gap for people who think in LaTeX but have to deliver slides in PowerPoint. Aimed at academics and engineers stuck in the Office ecosystem.
Converts LaTeX to native PowerPoint equation objects, not images — so equations remain editable and resizable after insertion. Zero external dependencies beyond the .ppam file itself. The round-trip works: clicking 'Linear' on the Equation ribbon shows the original OMML source, giving you something to reconstruct your LaTeX from.
Abandoned since August 2020 with 213 stars and no activity — no issues addressed, no pull requests merged. The cursor-must-be-at-end-of-textbox constraint is a genuine workflow tax that was apparently never fixed. Only tested on Windows 10 + Office 365; no macOS support, and modern Office versions may have broken behavior silently. The entire codebase is a single .bas file and two binary Office files — no tests, no CI, and the VBA source is only accessible by opening the macro editor inside Office itself.
