PowerPoint Slide Shows can contain images and sounds that File Juicer can extract as ordinary image and sound files. You can use Microsoft Office or Apple's iWork to open these files, but in most cases the slideshow is a collection of interesting images collected via email and on the web. If so, it is more flexible to extract the images and show them with iPhoto or Preview.
