Make a scrapbook of slides on your desktop (PowerPoint 2000/2002/2003)

If you have a few slides you refer to regularly from a given presentation, you can easily create a scrapbook of them on your desktop in three easy steps. First, simply select the slides you'd like to bring together from your presentation using the [Ctrl] key to choose them in your slide sorter pane. Next, drag them to your desktop. You'll notice a new file called Scrap is created which contains only the files you selected. You can rename the Scrap file if you wish, and now you can get to just the slides you need without having to open an entire presentation. This technique does not work in PowerPoint 2007.
