1. please don't top-post.  Place your comments after the quoted
 text from the previous message. Please tell your mail program to
 use text, not html when posting here.

2. Alan has pointed out that there may not be any text in the ppt
 file,  but just image data that represents the text.   Similar to
 the way a scanned piece of paper has no text till you try to ocr
 it.
