I think you are right about the emf representation of the embedded PPT:
word\embeddings\Microsoft_PowerPoint_Slide111.sldx corresonds to
media\image4.emf
there are 17 files in the embeddings folder and there are 17 .emf files in the
media folder. So it looks like every embedded file has a corresponding .emf
file
So your solution might work once the .emf files get converted to .svg I assume?

Please send us a sample document having embedded PPT slides.
MS-Word very often automatically creates alternate representations of
the same graphic. For example, your DOCX files could contain a PPT slide
and as an alternate format, the corresponding EMF graphic.
If this is the case, once we'll support the EMF format[*], your authors
will not have to change their habits.

[*] XMLmind Word To XML v1.2 automatically converts OpenXML math to
MathML but does not support EMF yet. EMF support is indeed at the top of
our TODO list.
