To convert Powerpoint into outline of Tex-file effectively

0

0

I have lectures as powerpoints. I want to convert text and lists to tex-file. If there is a picture, a mark can be left to a file. I can individually add pictures.

I tried to save the ppt document into RF but there is much special syntax which parsing to tex can be cumbersome.

What is an efficient way to get the outline of Powerpoint into tex-document?

I don't know of any way to go directly from PPT to tex but if getting to a plain text file rather than RTF would be a more useful starting point, you could do it via macro or save as RTF, open in WordPad, select all, copy and paste into Notepad then save.

Yes, this was the solution which I eventually also choose the best one. RTF and then just copy paste to your tex editor. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 – 2014-02-06T06:04:33.900

Even better. If you need to extract more than just the outline text (the text in those "Click here" blocks) you can do that with a macro. I've got some example code on the PPT FAQ site I maintain. Export Text to a text file, extract text from PowerPoint (Mac or PC) http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00274_Export_Text_to_a_text_file-_extract_text_from_PowerPoint_-Mac_or_PC-.htm
