From: Charles Belov on 22 Mar 2010 15:54 I'd like to extract all content from a Windows PowerPoint 2003 document and place it in a Word 2003 document, as Word to PDF conversion seems to provide better-quality tagging than a PowerPoint to PDF conversion. I know I can save the outline as RTF and open that in Word, but the outline does not include any of the following: - text added on a blank slide layout - text in a text box - tables. - images. Is there any way to copy all content from a PowerPoint presentation to a Word document, such that all text remains text and all tables remain as tables?

I expect that with VBA and a thorough understanding of both Word and PPT, and their respective object models, you could do something like this. If the object is to convert PPT to something more accessible, would HTML be a usable alternative to PDF? We have an add-in that does a decent job of this (http://www.pptools.com/ppt2html/) and there are other methods of doing the same thing. ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/ |
