How to extract text from a PowerPoint PPTX
If you need the words from a presentation rather than the slide design, extract the slide text into one plain text file.
Open the PPTX and export the readable slide text to TXT.
The extractor reads the PPTX slide XML, collects text in slide order, and downloads the result as plain text.
