Just copy the text from Impress to Writer ;)

Here's how:

1. Open the .ppt with Impress
2. Select Impress Outline mode (Outline thumbnail or View / Outline menu)
3. Ctrl+A
4. Ctrl+C
5. Open an empty Writer document
6. Ctrl+V

Et voila!

If you don't want to get the formatting into the Writer doc, at step 6, 
press Ctrl+Shift+V instead of Ctrl+V.
