Although Microsoft PowerPoint offers no direct way to extract images or audio
files from PPT files (IMO), you can still save these embedded objects in
three simple steps:

Step 1: Open the PPT or PPS file inside Microsoft Powerpoint and choose File
-> Save As.

Step 2: From the "Save As type" drop down, choose the Web Page format
(*.htm, *.html). Type a file name and click save.

Step 3. Open the file folder where you saved the Presentation as HTML and
there you'll see another subfolder with the same name.

That's the magical folder - open it and you'll see tons of JPEGs, HTML and
WAV files there which were actually used in the original Powerpoint
presentation. One of the WAV files here is probably what she is looking for.
Happy Hunting.

Bonus Tip: When you save your presentation as a Web page, PowerPoint creates
a folder that contains an .htm file and all supporting files, such as images,
background textures, sound files, cascading style sheets, scripts, and more.
Save your presentation as a Web page when you want to edit it with an HTML
editor, and then post it to an existing Web site.

OOPS, NIK you stated the wrong file extension for a graphic file. WAV files
are audio. The file will probably be a .jpg or such file.

Another way is to make a .jpg image of the screen Here is how.

Open the PPT file in PPT. Do a File,SaveAs a new name to protect the
original. Now, delete all slides except for the one you want as your
background. Now do another File SaveAs. In this case scroll down in the
"Save as type" dropdown until you find either the JPG or BMP extension
listed. Click that then click OK. You will get a message asking if you
want to save all or the one image. Select the one image and put it where
you know it's location.

If the screen is the full image you want for your desktop you can either
browse for the file when you go to the desktop settings or move it to the
Windows\System32 folder.

If you need to edit the image you can do that with almost any image editor
such as Paint or many of the free downloadable image editing programs.
