How can I extract a sound file in a .pps powerpoint 97 presentati

[Dave C]

Some of the replies said to save the file as a webpage or HTML, but there is
no such option in PP. 97.
One of the options did separate all of the pictures and put them in a folder
in My Docs.
but no music file.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Dave,

Ah. You will need to install the ability for PowerPoint 97:

As Glen mentions, the Save As HTML feature is an optionally installed component
of PowerPoint. You'd need to rerun Setup and choose Custom install to activate
it.

But before you go to all that trouble, understand that it *won't* separate all
the pictures from the original file; it simply makes an image file of each
slide in the presentation. You can do that w/o installing anything new.
Choose File, Save As, pick JPG or GIF from Files of Type and save away. It'll
let you save just the current slide or the whole presentation.

I don't recall whether it saves sounds or not.

If you have a friend with a copy of PPT2000 or later, have them save to HTML
for you. That might be the simplest way around the problem.

Thank you both,Glen, & Steve...For the great replies. I tried the custom reinstall by running setup, and after it finished it announced that it couldn't register itself due to something being wrong or corrupted.

I have managed to separate the photos by using one of the options in the
drop down menu, but still have no music file... Dave C
