How big a hurry are you in? PowerPoint and several of the other Office 2007
programs will save to a series of XML files as the native format.

Do you know how to program in VB or VBA or some other language?
If not, this might be a bit too big a project to start learning with.

Start by asking yourself what it means to save a PPT file in XML.
What would an example XML version of a PPT file look like?
What would it contain? What aspects of the PPT file do you need to extract?
Create a sample XML file by hand or in an XML editor.

From that, work out a list of what you want to extract from the PPT.
One you know what you need to pull out of PPT, we can help you with that part.
