<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Gilian,<br>One way would involve saving your powerpoint as html and then converting the html to text. There is a freeware utility called htmlastext (<span id="yui_3_3_0_1_1308009027729168" 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><br>--- On <b>Mon, 6/13/11, Flato, Gillian <i><gflato@nanometrics.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Flato, Gillian <gflato@nanometrics.com><br>Subject: PowerPoint to Frame<br>To:
