The following comes from fellow subscriber Bill Koegler:
If you have a PowerPoint presentation with embedded animated gifs and sound files, but do not have the original source material, you can retrieve them by publishing the PowerPoint files as an HTML file. Check the supporting files created for the HTML output and you'll find your animations and audio files! They may require some renaming and editing, but it beats having to re-create the assets.
As far as the animated GIF files go, they will become static if you import them into Captivate along with the PPT presentation. So, I just popped the animated gifs out of the PPT before importing it into Captivate and then re-introduced them from the HTML file into the Captivate program... worked like a charm.
