Re: Random slides with Q&As

I'm not a VBA programmer at all. Is there any examples for linking slide
order from excel into powerpoint......?

I don't think you can do that without VBA. Once your doing VBA, you might
as well keep it all contained to PowerPoint. In fact, I think you might
need VBA to do it in Excel because you aren't looking to randomize the
order of every slide, you have to pick and choose. If you were
randomizing everything, then Tushar's add-in would be what you want.

Thanks for the info. One more question that might make this easier
for me?

Is there a way to have an excel file simply to order the slides? I
could then easily create a random list (manually listing the order) to
play from?

Well, this going to take some work with VBA. I have an example on my
site that randomly selects question slides, but it doesn't seem to be
exactly what you want so you would probably have to modify the VBA.
Check out examples 8-16 and 8-17 on my site:

Been working on making a pre-movie slideshow for an outdoor movie
event. I've used the random plugin from here last year with very
good success. http://www.tushar-mehta.com/

However, this year, I'd like to take the pre-show entertainment a
bit more appealing to our customers by having quiz questions &
answers show at random. I'm not a VB programmer so I'm not sure how
to do this. I'll have static slides I want to show at random, but
when a quiz question screen shows, I'd like the answer slide to
show immediately after question, but still have things randomly
show. IE:

Random choose and show these:
Slide1 (advertisement)
Slide3 (advertisement)
Slide5-6 (Q&A)
Slide2 (advertisement)
Slide8-9 (Q&A)
Slide4 (advertisement)
etc.etc.

Any help on doing this would be greatly appreciated.
