color:#1F497D'>I agree with David about save-as-html – that’s the route I’ve
taken many times in similar situations, and it has proven a pretty efficient
way to extract the graphics into something FM can use as a referenced graphic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>However, I’d like to add a bit about the graphics… Due to the
way that Microsoft Office products handle graphics, it is best to attempt to
get the graphics back to their original resolution before doing the
save-as-html. To do this, you can use the Find feature in PPT (or Word when you
have a DOC file), searching for any graphic. When Find locates a graphic, from
the picture tool bar, choose the Reset Graphic button (looks like a
curved
arrow pointing at a picture), and then click the
graphic. If the graphic was larger or higher resolution than what is presently
displayed in the PPT/DOC file, it will enlarge to its original state at import.
This will look messy, but just bear with the process. When you finish finding
and resetting all the graphics, THEN do the save-as-html trick. The resulting
graphics file will populate with a bunch of image* files.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>One final alternative in this procedure: If you don’t want to go
with another product, you can then open the HTML file you just created in Word,
select all, copy, and then in FM paste as plain text into a body-style
paragraph. Apply your headings as needed, insert the image* files, and Bob’s
your uncle!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

graphics import settings in FM. ;-)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

One way would involve saving your powerpoint as html and then converting the
html to text. There is a freeware utility called htmlastext (<span class=url>www.<b>nirsoft.net</b>/utils/<b>htmlastext</b>.html</span>)
that I have used to strip the html code, resulting in a text file. The saveas
html should create a separate folder of the graphic elements in your
powerpoint.<br>
<br>
Paste the text portions into your Frame paratags/elements, importing the
graphics as needed. This should leave you with what you are looking for.<br>
