If you have the later versions of Powerpoint that save as .pptx, you can 
access the original graphics with this method:

1. Save as .pptx (if it's not already in that format).
2. Close Powerpoint.
3. Rename your file.pptx to file.zip. (Dismiss the warning.)
4. Unzip the file.  Several folders will be created.
5. Open the "media" folder to see all the graphics.
