Created an attachment (id=22402)
 --> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=22402)
The presentation as a ppt with no header/footer data.

I have attempted to use the code outlined here for the extraction of headers
and footers from .ppt files:

http://poi.apache.org/hslf/how-to-shapes.html#HeadersFooters

However, all the values I got were null.

The test file I used was a .ppt file created in PowerPoint 2007.  I.e. it was
saved in the compatibility mode.  This is a very important use-case, since I
have no access to any other version of Office and our customers are very likely
to have a lot of files like this.

I am attaching the following:

1. a simple presentation, both in pptx and ppt formats (ppt saved in
compatibility mode from '07)
2. the same presentation with set headers / footers, both in ppt and pptx
formats.

Note that for the files with headers/footers, the following header/footer data
is defined:

1. Slide header/footer data:
- Fixed date: August 06, 2008
- Slide number is checked
- Slide footer is set to "THE FOOTER TEXT" for all slides but the second, where
it is actually set to "THE FOOTER TEXT FOR SLIDE 2"

2. Notes and Handouts
- Date and time is selected to 'update automatically'
- Header is set to "THE NOTES HEADER TEXT"
- Page number is selected
- Footer is set to "THE NOTES FOOTER TEXT"

This feature is critical for us.
