# PowerPoint

This covers how to load PowerPoint documents into a document format that we can use downstream.

    from langchain.document_loaders import UnstructuredPowerPointLoader

    loader = UnstructuredPowerPointLoader("example_data/fake-power-point.pptx")

    data = loader.load()

    data

    [Document(page_content='Adding a Bullet Slide\n\nFind the bullet slide layout\n\nUse _TextFrame.text for first bullet\n\nUse _TextFrame.add_paragraph() for subsequent bullets\n\nHere is a lot of text!\n\nHere is some text in a text box!', lookup_str='', metadata={'source': 'example_data/fake-power-point.pptx'}, lookup_index=0)]

## Retain Elements

Under the hood, Unstructured creates different “elements” for different chunks of text. By default we combine those together, but you can easily keep that separation by specifying `mode="elements"`.

    loader = UnstructuredPowerPointLoader("example_data/fake-power-point.pptx", mode="elements")

    data = loader.load()

    data[0]

    Document(page_content='Adding a Bullet Slide', lookup_str='', metadata={'source': 'example_data/fake-power-point.pptx'}, lookup_index=0)
