I don't use Impress, powerpoint etc much at all so if this is a stupid question, I apologise.
Not stupid at all ...
Someone has sent me a long presentation in ppt format which consists mainly of text. It is somewhat annoying to try to read and absorb the intent of the text. Is there a simple way to extract the text from the entire slide show and save it as a text document- I don't care what format it is as long as it is on one page instead of 45?
Here's a rather messy workaround: o Open the presentation in Impress. o Go to File | Export as PDF... to create a PDF copy. o Open the PDF copy in your favourite PDF reader and save as text from there. I trust this helps.
