Default Powerpoint 2007 handouts

I create handouts for a 120 slide presentation. Some of the slides contain
information that I would like to have print 1 to a page, most of them are
fine at 3 to a page.

I would think this would be a fairly common need. I don't want to waste 120
pieces of paper if I can get it down to 60. But I can't find any way to do
this short of creating multiple presentations (small slide handouts, then
large slide handouts, then small slide handouts, etc..). Is there anything
I'm missing? In previous versions I used some 3rd part apps, but they don't
seem to work well with 2007.

Default Powerpoint 2007 handouts

I think you can just split the table in Word -- both before and after what
you want to be the one page -- then make the one page with the larger
thumbnail. (Just delete the cell to the side of the slide thumbnail and drag
the thumbnail corner to make it bigger.) Add a blank row so you can put
lines or whatever beneath.
