I need a program that runs like an ASCII/Hex editor (i.e. Diskedit / Review / DScan) that will examine a Power Point presentation and pull out only text values. If that is not possible even a dos based program that runs a search and can pull out text strings from charecter strings. I just need to avoid anything that displays pages and pages of charecters usually incorporated with a power point presentation.

I need an editor or command line that will pull the text out of a powerpoint for review. Current editors used are Review/Diskedit/DScan....

I have been informed about the strings command, but we couldn't find the Windows alternative. Does anyone know of a possible windows version of linux's Strings command?

What if you print all the presentations without checking the box that includes graphics and bitmaps to an ASCII (DOS) printer redirected to a file?

There are many options under the "What to print" of each presentation.

Just an idea...

You can try the simple MS-DOS Editor. Go into it, and then open up the file and make sure Binary file is checked. that way you can see it more in Hexadecimal format. Or if you dont want that, go to http://www.cnet.com, click on Downloads and search for Hex Editor.
