Random display of slides in Powerpoint

[John Coney]

Hello from UH-Hilo. We are trying to setup a random slide show of marine
animals so all the slides are randomly displayed. I've looked at
http://www.tushar-mehta.com/index.html?http://www.tushar-mehta.com/powerpoint/randomslideshow/
random slides show, but I can't get it to work on a variety of machines with
consistancy.

Anyone out there that has a simple method to randomly display a slide show?

I'm surprised that Tushar's code doesn't work. He's an excellent coder
among his other skills. What doesn't work consistently?

Also I've posted some random code here in the past which you should
find using a google search on "Reilly random powerPoint"

You'd have to modify mine to run in slide show view but that'd be
easy.

Brian,
I saved a copy of the random code that you posted over a year ago. I used
it for my first attempt at VBA and it worked wonderfully. I hope that you
don't mind if I post it here now.

Sub sort_rand()
Dim i As Integer
Dim myvalue As Integer
Dim islides As Integer
islides = ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
For i = 1 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
myvalue = Int((i * Rnd) + 1)
ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlideSorter
ActivePresentation.Slides(myvalue).Select
ActiveWindow.Selection.Cut
ActivePresentation.Slides(islides - 1).Select
ActiveWindow.View.Paste
Next
End Sub

Drew,
Check your macro settings (Tools | Macros | Security...) Change it to
medium and then try to load the add-in again.
