You are out of luck there. This is something which was surprisingly left out
from the object model. Though you cannot determine which file was used, you
can extract the original image from with PowerPoint (2000+) by using the
hidden Export method for a shape.
Interestingly, when you use the Export method on the shape with a user
background picture/texture fill (Same as right-click on shape| Saves as
picture...) to export it as *EMF*, you get the original image that was used
to provide the background fill and not an export of the complete shape. Any
other format and you will get the PowerPoint shape. A bug which can be used
to your benefit.
Call ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Export("E:\test\test.emf",
ppShapeFormatEMF)
