It should be possible to insert an equation anywhere in a line (not just at
the end) and have it behave like a very wide symbol, e.g., if text is
inserted to the left of the equation, the equation should automatically
shift to the right, and any text to the right of it should also shift,
wrapping to the next line if necessary. When an equation is inserted into a
presentation slide, the reasonable default behavior is that of an inline
object, although it makes sense to also allow users to create floating
equations. I'd also like to see automatic numbering of equations.

Although it would require minimal effort to convert PowerPoint into
something that meets the needs of scientists, mathematicians, and
engineers, Microsoft has never had the slightest interest in doing this.
There is no need for OOo to adopt the same attitude. In fact, improved
support for mathematics in presentations would be an excellent way for OOo
to distinguish itself from the Evil Empire.
