This sounds like you will need to take the VBA route, since this is not
something that PowerPoint is able to do natively. Don't worry, there is
help available.
Look at this site to get started in VBA for PowerPoint
**Where can I learn more about VBA programming in PowerPoint?
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00032.htm
And we are always here for those tough questions. You may want to look at
some stuff that has already been done along these same lines. The tools are
at:
**Exporting All Slide Titles To A Text File
http://www.mvps.org/skp/ppt00037.htm#export
**Global Find And Replace routine in PowerPoint
http://www.mvps.org/skp/ppt00025.htm#2
Then spend some time looking over both sites. "Content rich" does not come
close to being an adequate description.

Just wondering if there is a way to build some sort of program (possibly
visual basic) that can read text from a powerpoint file? The tool I am
trying to build will have to be able to get the text off of slides and
replace characters on slides as well.
