OK..... for this u need to know the format of the .ppt file.. to know
WHERE the text is... you can get that here - http://www.wotsit.org/
this site has almost every famous file extension.... of course you have
to be really really GOOD at reading files.. this thing aint so easy!

But then there could be SOMETHING . on automation in powerpoint... you
refrence the OFFICE library from your computer... . it is very easy to
send text to word , excel.. i've done that.. i dont know whether you
can do it the other way around.. ... this is where i learnt
