Have you tried Send to > microsoft office word (as outline only)  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > Is there any command line tool I can use to extract the text from powerpoint > file into text file?

Is this a one-shot deal or is it something you need to do very very often? There's a way you can use one of our PowerPoint add-ins (the PPT2HTML Batch conerter) to do this, but it's a rather large, expensive hammer if you're only trying to drive one or two small nails ;-) There's also some free macro code for extracting text from PPT files on www.pptfaq.com ... it's not command line stuff ,though. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
