I'm working on a project to structure unstructured data. What i need to be able to do is find a way to read information from a power point deck and index it. My users want to be able to use a "search engine" that will allow them to browse their ppt's by content. The kicker is that they don't want to pay for google or the like. Can sql server open a ppt and read it or do i need to find another program to convert the ppt into a text file?
