Oh, joy....
Could someone with PPT 97 please do me two single page PPT files (one
with a single comment, and one without, but otherwise the same)?
Chuck them on bugzilla, then we can start looking into the differences
between them.
It seems that comments in PowerPoint 97 are not only stored in Escher
textboxes, but the comments are even visible during a slide show which
means that they really *are* just normal textboxes.
I just tested this case using the HSLF's existing PowerPoint text
extractor, and indeed the text of all the comments is already extracted.
(Good news for me... one less thing I have to go and write.)
