Hi Matt,

Are you using the latest "bleeding-jumbo" version of the office2john.py
utility?

https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/tree/bleeding-jumbo/

I just tried office2john.py on the .ppt and .pptx files I have and it
seems to working just fine (TM).

It would be awesome if you could share a sample .ppt file which is
failing (private email is OK).
