If you want to add a complex mathematical formula to your presentation, the best thing to do is insert an equation. Now, it's better to do this with a mouse than with a keyboard shortcut. So go Insert, Symbols, Equation. Okay, and you just click straight on the pie symbol at the top there. It opens up this menu directly. If you go via the ribbon menu using the keyboard shortcuts, it's a bit harder to get to this bit of the menu. So you're just better off using the mouse sometimes. Okay, so we wanna replicate this formula on the left-hand side. So what I want to do, it's gonna be a fraction, okay? So I'm gonna select Fraction, and I want just a stacked fraction, a simple one there, and we also want to have an exponent at the bottom there. Okay, so I'm going to select the denominator box and I'm gonna select Script, and I'm just gonna use this superscript option here, the first one. Okay, so there we go. We've got the layout set now. So we've defined the layout, and then I just need to start typing in the equation. So we've got the one at the top there in the big box. I've got one plus the WACC, and then in the next box, and you can use the arrow keys to move around if you want to, I've just got a lower case N. That's it. There you go. So there's your equation input, and then it's just a matter of changing the size. You wanna make it bigger or smaller, okay, or you may also, or change the color, et cetera. That's up to you. But that's how you insert an equation anyway.
