--- Comment #41 from skierpage <i...@skierpage.com> ---
I've incorporated various catdoc patches to my fork on GitHub
https://github.com/skierpage/catdoc , but even with these:

BUG: catppt baloo_test_libreoffice.ppt :  no output 
BUG: catppt baloo_test_WPS.ppt : only outputs "Office Theme", "1_Office Theme",
... "12_Office Theme"

The .doc and .xls files seem OK.

catdoc baloo_test_Libreoffice_7.4.2.3.doc : outputs  "Monday, 14 November 2022
KDE today announces..."
      [catdoc is still broken in Fedora because it doesn't incorporate the
patches that Debian carries]
catdoc baloo_test_WPS_Office.doc : also outputs  "Monday, 14 November 2022 KDE
today announces..."

xls2csv baloo_test_libreoffice.xls , or baloo_test_wps.xls : outputs"test for
baloo", "this is a test of XLS (excel) file generated by libreoffice"

So there's definitely an issue with .ppt files not created by Office 2003
PowerPoint. A very simple Microsoft .ppt file does output the text on a slide,
so catppt isn't completely broken.

I filed issue #6 against my repository. (vbwagner, who created the original
catdoc, hasn't responded for years).
