The existence of this script for 25 bucks just shows that MS fails at implementing simple, much-needed and much-wanted features - do they listen to their customers at all? (other examples: automatically insert multiple worksheets from multiple files into Excel, Excel cascaded and stacked bar graphs combined, etc.)
I have not tried this program, but there is a free alternative (not as comfortable). An AppleScript can be found at: http://bbs.applescript.net/viewtopic.php?t=3847&highlight=powerpoint

AppleScript... often neglected superpower - JimG74

The price for version 2.6 was reduced to $10 May, 2005. From a developer's point of view Microsoft made Mac PowerPoint extensible by supporting Microsoft's Visual Basic and AppleScript so that additional features could be added by 3rd party developers. In Excel you can make a macro to loop through your files and import worksheets into Excel. Here's how to make stacked bar graphs in Excel http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/axes.html#StakCht
