Word's "recover text from any doc"

[John O]

Next time someone runs across a corrupted Ppt doc try this tool. In Word, do
File > Open and choose file type "recover text from any document". This
pulls out the text off slides, from speaker notes, from everywhere. It won't
be clean, but if you need this...

I just tried it on some oddball files and it works really well. Gotta give
credit to Woody for the tip.
