Captivate 5.5 Powerpoint 2011 Equations

I'm working in Captivate 5.5 with the eLearning Suite.  I've created a Powerpoint on my Mac using Office 2011.  I've got several physics equations in the power point.  When I pull the Powerpoint into Captivate, the equations are no longer correct.

It appears to be a possible font issue.  However, I've changed the fonts to some familiar fonts (Times Roman, Verdana) and still no luck.

I've also downloaded the 30-day trial of Math Type to see if that helped, however it's still the same issue.  If I convert them to images, it apperas to work, but that becomes an editing problem if we need to make changes down the road.

Any help would be appreciated.  Here's a copy of the Powerpoint.

I am almost sure you have figured it out on your own.  It does appear to be a font issue, and turning them into images may be your only option.  I would suggest only turning the equation part of the slide into an image and leaving the rest as ppt.  You can import the ppt slide with the image included, or for slightly better quality, import the slide without the image and paste the image directly into Captivate as a separate layer.

Hope this helps.
