In my experience by far the best solution is to use the TexPoint add-in for 
powerpoint [1]. You get access to almost all LaTeX symbols in-line, and if you 
want to do really fancy stuff you can compile and insert whole chunks of LaTeX 
as images, with the LaTeX source being embedded in the powerpoint file allowing 
future updating and re-compiling (you need to have LaTeX and ghostscript 
installed for this to work).
