How to Extract Embeded Sound in PowerPoint 2007/2010 PowerPoints

In previous versions of PowerPoint, you could simply save as a webpage and everything would be fine. However, this feature was removed in 2007 and thus 2010. So to extract the sound file (for use in Articulate), follow these steps:

To save a file as a webpage (*.htm;*.html) to the desktop by using the ppSaveAsHTML argument for the *.htm file format, without embedding true type fonts (msoFalse), follow these steps:

1. Open the presentation that you want to export to HTML.
2. Open Visual Basic for Applications (Press ALT+F11).
3. Open View > Immediate Window (Press CTRL+G).
4. In the Immediate window type the following:
   

   ActivePresentation.SaveAs "{Drive}:\users\{user-ADID}\desktop\{filename}.htm", ppSaveAsHTML, msoFalse

   Be sure to EDIT the path to the user.

5. Press ENTER (to execute).

Note To save as a Single File Web Page (*.mht;*.mhtml) file format, replace html at the end of the file name with mht, and replace ppSaveAsHTML with ppSaveAsWebArchive.

ActivePresentation.SaveAs "{Drive}:\users\{user-ADID}\desktop\{filename}.mht", ppSaveAsWebArchive, msoFalse
