Is there a PowerPoint plug-in or addon that will allow PPT 2002/XP to save a
presentation as XML?

I can save as a PPT 2007 pptx, but when I examine the pptx file, it appears to be a
binary file.

THANKS for any help,

Toni
 
As I originally wrote,
"I can save as a PPT 2007 pptx, but when I examine the pptx file, it appears to be a
binary file."

That is to say, it is NOT a text file (since an XML file is text!).

From PPT 2002, I was able to do a "Save As..." as a PPTX file. So, yes the converter is
installed.

File associations have nothing to do with it. I need an XML file, which is a text file.

A .pptx file is a .zip with XML files within it. There are binary portions
representing images and code inside the .pptx file though but the slide, its
text content, animations, etc. are all XML text. Try opening the .pptx file
in your favorite Zip utility.
