Hello,

A simple kiosk like application, really. I;ve a set of slide, about 50
slides total. All are giving out some information. I would like to show
a slideshow that has 3 requirements

-- loops continuously.
-- shows random slide everytime
-- Note, however, that in every 'loop', the slide order should be
random, and NOT the same order in every loop.

anyone got any ideas? code? add-ins ?

thx.
Sanjay
 
just repeating. the requirements are to have a LOOP as well as RANDOM
SLIDES for every loop. I've already gone through each of the options
individually. All I want is for BOTH the options simultaneously to
occur..

any pointers?

tia,
Sanjay
 
Yes you can.
Follow Bill's macro:

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow _
..View.GotoSlide Int(Rnd * _
ActivePresentation.Slides.Count) + 1
End Sub

Then create an action button in the slide master. Right click on the action
button, click on action setting. Select Run Macro.

Then click Slide Show > Set Up Show. Check Loop continuously until esc.

How do I automate this ..? Note this is a kiosk/hands-free application.
My slides transition after a constant time-interval, automatically. I
dont want to click through the presentation. Is there any event that I
can capture, and set the next slide (to be shown) to be a random slide
...?

Tx,
Sanjay
 
Not sure about automating it. See if others have better solution for that.
