Hi Rick,
Powerpoint can export to HTML, and while I have not looked at Keynote's
HTML export, I think you would be just trading one problem at file
parsing for another. Tools like PowerPoint and Keynote export to HTML
with CSS, so you can't just:
set the htmlText of field x to URL tPresentationFile
You'd still have to parse the HTML/CSS into something LiveCode can
understand.
Again, I know how to do this. My questions is: Has someone already done
it or even part of it?

Hi Paul,
If you had access to a Mac you could import
your Powerpoint presentation to Keynote, make
whatever changes you want and then Export it
as HTML. It’s really cool how it works.
Keynote can also Export to Powerpoint too, as
well as PDFs.
Then import into LiveCode?
Just my 2 cents.

Out of curiosity, has anyone created a library that will import - the parts of
a Powerpoint presentation that can be recreated in Livecode - into a LiveCode
stack?
Of course .pptx files are actuall just ZIP archives with assorted XML files
inside, while there is a path to importing .pptx files, it is not simple. Use
revZIP to open the .pptx file, use revXML (or your howm grown xml parser) to
extract the XML for each slide (each a separate file in the archive) and
rectreate those slide elements support in LiveCode.
So, I know HOW to do it.
I am asking if any one has already built such a library (or even started it)?
