title: Extracting all text from a powerpoint file in VBA
body: <p>I have a huge set of powerpoint files from which I want to extract all the text and just lump it all into one big text file.  Each source (PPT) file has multiple pages (slides).  I do not care about formatting - only the words.</p>
  
  <p>I could do this manually with a file by just ^A ^C in PPT, followed by ^V in notepad; then page down in the PPT, and repeat for each slide in the powerpoint.  (Too bad I can't just do a ^A that would grab EVERYTHING ... then I could use sendkey to copy / paste)</p>
  
  <p>But there are many hundreds of these PPTs with different numbers of slides.</p>
  
  <p>It seems like this would be a common thing to want to do, but I can't find an example anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have sample code to do this?</p>
