Making a series of flash cards is fairly easy
Make a slide with 1 box for the flash part, and the another for the answer.
Use an animation to make the second box (answer) appear. How to do this
varies according to PowerPoint version. Which do you have?
Add this macro (for how see How do I use VBA code in PowerPoint?
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00033.htm )
=====Start=====
Sub ShuffleFlashCards()
Dim x As Integer
Dim oSld As Slide
For x = 1 To 50
For Each oSld In ActivePresentation.Slides
oSld.MoveTo Int(Rnd * _
ActivePresentation.Slides.Count) + 1
Next oSld
Next x
Set oSld = Nothing
End Sub
=====End=====
Add a third shape, doesn't matter what, but type "Shuffle" into it
Right click on the shape and select Action Setting. On the Action setting
dialog box that opens select On mouse click ... Run Macro ...
ShuffleFlashCards ... OK
Now copy the slide as much as needed and change the "question" and answer"
text.
