equation displays at lower resolution

Hi,
I am using PPT 2003 and I am writing equations with Eq editor 3. All my
equations are displayed as they were low-resolution bitmaps... how do I fix
it?
 
A couple of suggestions, and if this doesn't work, feel free to send
me a sample presentation with a couple of these low-resolution
equations in it.

First suggestion -- Don't animate the equations unless you absolutely
have to. Animated equations are always of a lower resolution than
non-animated equations. This isn't the fault of Equation Editor; it's
PowerPoint. If you have to "animate" equations, there are workarounds
that will make the equations appear to be animated, but will keep full
resolution.

Second suggestion -- Make sure you set the equation size in Equation
Editor. Don't drag a corner of the equation to resize it. With
Equation Editor open, the menus you see are Equation Editor menus;
they're not PowerPoint menus. Hence, if you click on Size > Define,
you can define the equation size to be the same as your text size in
PPT. Just change the Full size, and set the others to % values. Use
these values, beginning with Sub/Superscript: 58%, 42%, 150%, 100% (be
sure to type the % symbol). When you switch back to Word, all you need
to do is change the Full size to 12-pt or whatever you use in Word.
