Is there any filter available for extracting text from MS Powerpoint files

The lucene website suggests the POI project, which, it seems does not
support PPT files as of now.
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hslf/index.html
It doesn't say poi doesn't support ppt. It just says support is limited.
Don't know exactly how limited, but certainly not useless for indexing
purposes.
Support for editing and adding things to PowerPoint files is limited, as
is getting out the finer points of fonts and positioning.
Getting text out should "just work" for you. The only thing you'll need to
decide is if you want hslf.PowerPointExtractor to give you slide and notes
text, or just slide text :)
