I need to create thumbnails of MS powerpoint presentation files. Mainly for windows, but would be nice to have it on linux and mac too.
Has someone an idea how to do this or maybe already has some code?

Should .ppt specification help? I wonder if thumbnails are stored in .ppt file.

OO is quite big to just create thumbnails, isn't it?
