Dear Juergen, Thanks for this information, this corrective trick perfectly works. It thus means that \psframebox{} in powerdot changes the default size \displaystyle to \textstyle. This behavior seems nevertheless strange as it is not the case in classical documents. By the way, by using \boxed from amsmath, the size does not change but no color. So, there is probably a side effect somewhere.

I use \psframebox*{} to color some equations in my courses and presentations. Everything is perfect in \documentclass{book}, report, ... Nevertheless, I discover that the size of the framed equation is smaller than the one without frame as can be seen in the very simple example below and in the ps file attached. Any idea how to solve this small problem? Thanks.
