About PPT and RTF

PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation) is PowerPoint's legacy binary format, predating the XML-based PPTX.

RTF (Rich Text Format) is a portable text format readable by virtually every word processor, supporting basic formatting like bold, fonts, and colors, but not macros or advanced layout.

What to expect: RTF doesn't support everything PPT does, so expect formatting like fonts, styles, or embedded objects to be dropped in the conversion.
