Some have reported that this method has stopped working since Sierra. It has, but it seems mostly with the default unarchive that ships with OSX. What will happen is that you will rename to a zip file, and then when you unzip it will turn in to a .cpgz file. If you unzip that it will turn in to a zip file – and it goes round I circles.

For me, I found that if I installed the Unachiver, and then unzipped using that instead, then no problem (the steps below work as described). I hope this helps.

  • When you embed an object in Office documents, the original file name and the default icon will be selected automatically. Here is a step by step process, if you are looking for changing the embedded file name in any office documents like Word, Excel or PowerPoint.
  • An embedded worksheet is a flat file. Once it's part of a Word document, it behaves like a piece of that document and can be edited in Word. There is no connection between the original worksheet and the Word document it's now a part of. Use this option if you plan to make minimal changes to the table data or if the data involves simple.

You can download the Unarchiver from their website or the Mac App Store. See download information here: https://theunarchiver.com

Lately I’ve been receiving a number of files in pptx format, but I present using my iPad and so convert these presentations to Keynote. If the slides contain images and text only, this conversion is relatively painless – usually there are just a few formatting and alignment issues that need to be addressed and then I’m good to go. All I need do is open the pptx file in keynote, either on my Mac or iPad, and Keynote handles the conversion quite well.

If, however, the presentation contains media, then this process will not transfer across the video presentations, and I end up with an image snapshot of the video in the slide as a placeholder where the video used to be (or an image of a play symbol, if the media is an audio file).

In order to access media files embedded within pptx files, follow these steps (and they work on both Windows machines and Macs):

Extract

Step 1
Make a copy of the pptx file.

Step 2
Rename the pptx file – change the extension from ‘pptx’ to ‘zip’.

You will probably get a message warning you about the change of extension. Make sure you allow the change so that the file name will end in ‘.zip’.

Step 3
Extract the zip file (or browse the zip file contents). You will see a directory structure now present in the folder. Navigate to ppt > media and all your image and media files will be present. You can now copy these files (and convert, if necessary) for use in other presentation mediums.
