Splitting files for multiple screen viewing

Does anyone know how to quickly split a PowerPoint
presentation into independent Left - Center - Right files
intended to run simultaneously on its own independent PC?

I regularly deal with presentations that contain more than
300 slides. In PowerPoint 97, the quickest method was to
initiate slide sorter view to show 3 slides across each
row, 'lasso' and delete two columns of slides, then save
the remaining slides intended for one of the 3 screens.
My company recently upgraded to Office XP, which does not
have the 'lasso' function and I have been forced to use
many mouse clicks to split these files.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ed
 
This can be done using a Macro, but you may not need it. PowerShow is an
add-in that allows for a single computer to run three projectors that span 3
screens. Of course that computer will need at least 3 independent video
cards installed to run the different projectors, but this may be a simpler
solution.

You would need to re-design your show for a "single" triple wide show (30 x
7.5), but the show building should be far less complicated once you have
begun using the format.
