I've got a PPT file that I'd like to convert to an RTF file. However,
everytime I do so, I get an incomplete file! Has anybody seen this behavior
in PPT before? Here is how I encountered this problem:
1. Create a PPT file with 3 text objects - all overlapping to some degree
(think of a Venn diagram with 3 overlapping circles.)
2. Select File, Save As and then choose the RTF format. Name the file
something distinct, e.g. Missing_Text.rtf
3. Now open the file Missing_Text.rtf in MS Word.
4. Examine the word document for the content of all 3 text objects.
I have repeated this quirk in both PowerPoint 2003 and 2008. I suspect that
the output routine is somehow getting confused by the fact that the text
objects overlap. However, all of the content should be in the resulting RTF
file. Anyone found a solution to this circumstance? I really need a complete
RTF file.
