File formats are off-topic in comp.lang.c. Have you read
http://www.snippets.org (hope I spelt that right) or asked Microsoft?

You do realise comp.lang.c is not a Powerpoint group,
unlike news:microsoft. public.powerpoi nt ?

Use a search engine like http://www.google.com and type in
"powerpoint file format" or "extract text from powerpoint"
or do the same at Microsoft's web site, or ask in
the above-mentioned Powerpoint newsgroup.

Converting PowerPoint to Flash would absolutely be a good choice to distribute your bulky PowerPoint presentations. You can do the whole PowerPoint to Flash conversion manually or with professional applications. First, you'll need to prepare the PowerPoint files. Make sure you are not using any complicated gradients or animations. These will be interpreted poorly when they are brought into Flash. Also, make sure there are no objects that...
