Is there a way to combine 3 separate PowerPoint
presentations--with 3 different types of backgrounds into
one PowerPoint presentation, whereby all 3 backgrounds
are visible? We are using Powerpoint 2000 (SP3), thanks.

PowerPoint 2003 does not allow multiple masters. You might consider
linking your presentations together. Look her for some information about
that:

Just to clarify for future web searchers: PPT 2003 does allow multiple
master, but PPT 200 SP3 does not. :) (I know that you know that he knows the
right answer, but don't want someone in the future to be confused and blame
him.)

Yes, of course I know that you know that I know the right answer. The
original question was about PPT 2000, and I typed 2003 in my response
even though I was talking about 2000. I didn't realize that mistake
until you just pointed it out and I looked at your quoted text. Thanks
for the correction.
