Is there any command line tool I can use to extract the text from powerpoint
file into text file? Or even convert ppt file into txt file?

Is this a one-shot deal or is it something you need to do very very often?

There's a way you can use one of our PowerPoint add-ins (the PPT2HTML Batch
conerter) to do this, but it's a rather large, expensive hammer if you're only
trying to drive one or two small nails ;-)

There's also some free macro code for extracting text from PPT files on
www.pptfaq.com ... it's not command line stuff ,though.
