About PPT and TXT

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

TXT (Plain Text) is unformatted text with no styling, fonts, or embedded objects — the most universally compatible format there is.

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