Just some random thoughts: Have you tried any brute force approaches?
I have heard there exists aprogram called something like dexml that
strips xml markup from a file (can't get online at this moment to search
for it.)
That failing, there is always the LInux strings command (versions should
also be available for windows and probably for Mac - I even wrote a
simple one many years ago that ran on CP/M). It can extract all
character strings of a specified minimum length from any file. It can
stream them all together (good for a quick look at a binary file to see
text strings that give you clues about what it does or where it came
from) or it can put out one string per line. If that gets you remotely
usable output, you can then run it through your favorite programming
language to further clean it up. Awk (available for for several
platforms - probably Mac) is particularly well suited to such tasks and
pretty easy to use once you grasp it initially. I'm sure perl ... would
work as well, but might involve a steeper learning curve.

That helps. I cannot speak on any of the mac ports. As I understand
these may or may not be completely compatible with the official
releases.
Nonetheless, CPH is right. In either release, bringing up the outline
view will permit you to do what you want. If neither of the Mac ports
give you this option then please submit issues. For OpenOffice Issue
Tracker, the steps are as follows:
1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
Register link at the top right of www.openoffice.org,
2. Fill in your information
3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "Bugs & Issues" link in the General links box.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood.
As to Neo, I will guess you file issues via the neooffice main site.

For some reason this does not work. I have the slide icon on the left
a
small preview in a separate window on the right but no text to select
anywhere in sight.
I used NO/J (RC with patch3) and OOo 1.93 with exactly the same
results.
The original file is a .ppt file that I converted to .swi.
Doesn't surprize me. I am guessing that you are using one of the beta
candidates. Please let us know what release of OOo you are actually
using and what OS is on your machine. THis will help.
