I have been given a ~400 slide Powerpoint Presentation, and need to extract all the text from it.

However, when trying to open it in Powerpoint 2004, it just quits everytime it attempts to open the 90Mb file.

Keynote has had more success, but I really do not want to be copying and pasting every slide into a document.

Anyone know of a shortcut please?!

Much appreciated!
 
You can export to PDF and then in preview, edit-select_all text and copy and paste into a text editor.

There are other possible methods - do a web search for them.
