Is there a way to create presentation tabs for major content chapter lead
pages?  That way when I print the presentation I can quickly go the chapter I
need to?  We normally do this physically by inserting individual chapters in
a binder with tabs.  I am looking for an electronic way of doing this.  
Thanks in advance.

You won't be able to make them physically stick out the way binder tab dividers
do, but I'm sure you've seen printed manuals with a kind of tab at the outside
edge of the page, which really does help find things.

You could do this in PPT 2002 and up by making a duplicate slide master for each
section.  You'd use the Section A slide master for all of your Section A
material.  The master could have e.g. a rectangle at upper right of page with an
A in it.  

The section B master would have a rectangle a little below the A section's
rectangle and a B in it.  

Make sense?

I like this idea. You could kind of fake it by making the "background" not
quite fill the slide...
