MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008Export notes from Powerpoint to text file
I have a PP2000 presentation originally written by a colleague with extensive text in the notes. I would like to export this text to use it in an alternative application. How can I get it out of the notes?

Del, Maybe this will be of use to you: http://pptfaq.com/FAQ00481.htm SignatureLuc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint blog: www.sixtiesfan.multiply.com/ >I have a PP2000 presentation originally written by a colleague with >extensive text in the notes.

Choose one of the radio buttons which sends the notes under or besides the slides. Once in Word delete the slide thumbnails. And you should be left with the notes.

I'll also keep the VBA solution in mind for next time. Thanks again to you and John.

As well as Luc's method with a little vba code you can export directly to a .txt file. Steve Rindsberg has done the hard work for you here! http://pptfaq.com/FAQ00481.htm SignatureAmazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > I have a PP2000 presentation originally written by a colleague with > extensive text in the notes.

You used to be able to use word to retrieve the text from any file, as one of the open dialog options in the drop down list and while it won't actually retrieve from any file as it says on the in, it will retrieve from almost any microsoft file. This might be the simplest way if you only want to do it once. Methods already mentioned might be better if you have a batch and would like to automate the process.
