Drag and Drop in Powerpoint 2000

I'm using Windows 2000 and Powerpoint 2000. I have a 6 slide .ppt saved on my
hard drive that someone sent me. I'm trying to 'drag and drop' three of those
slides in to a new presentation (.ppt). Only the text shows up on the new
ppt... the background/template does not copy over. I tried copy and paste as
well with teh same results.

How can I accomplish having the background/template by just drag and
dropping (or copy and paste)?

As I recall, I don't think you can. The problem is that have multiple
masters (slide designs) was not supported in 2000 so when you import a
slide, I believe it will take on the background of the presentation to
which you are importing it. One workaround that might not be satisfactory
is to save the slides as pictures and insert the pictures onto new slides.
This will work well if you don't need animations on those slides.
