<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Sure, I can. In my case the Powerpoint Template is quite complex, the template file has more than 100 pages with lots of graphics, tables etc. Fortunately I only need a subset for my upcoming presentation.<br>
<br></div>1) I gathere all the background images in Powerpoint. I copied them from the slide master view and put them into separate png files using xnview, Gimp or Photoshop serve as well.<br><br></div>2) the template uses different backgrounds for title and the rest, the following snippet allows me to to so (found on te.xstackexchange)<br>
