Sorry powerpoint neebee. Of course.
But as you have noticed there is no way for you to select slides to play at random in PowerPoint itself using any in-built PowerPoint command or menu function. However, with a little bit of code you can quickly have your own Macro function up and running.
To add the VBA code powerpoint newbee, you'll need to follow these instructions.
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
Now to test the random slide functionality.
It is a bit tricky I know if you are only starting out with powerpoint, but hopefully the steps above will make it easy for you to follow and have your presentation dispalying random slides in no time if needed. |

It might be wise to point out admin that the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio lets you burn your presentatyions with video backgrounds direct to Blu-ray, DVD and Cd-Rom discs from inside PowerPoint itself. So if you need to for example play your presentaton on another computer at the exhibition it's easy to just bring the presentation with you and even include the Free 123PPT Presentations Player which you can install on any PC computer to play back your presentations with video backgrounds without needing to install or license another copy of the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio.
Before you use the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio to burn your presentation to disc you can select the Loop Presentation feature and even select a slide from within the presentation to loop from. So for example you could loop the entire presentation from start to end and then repeat from start to end. Or say, loop your presentation from slide 3 to end and then loop back to slide 3 and play to end again.
The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio provides lots of options to create dynamic, visually engaging and high impact PowerPoint presentations.

Hey powerpoint newbee,
welcome to the 123PPT Community and PowerPoint Forum. Nice to have you with us.
I know this is not a direct answer to your question powerpoint newbee, but have you downloaded and tried the Free 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio for PowerPoint?
The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio lets you add and play video backgrounds in PowerPoint behind your slide content so you create PowerPoint presentations that are ideal for exhibitions, trade fairs, trade shows and conferences etc., as the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio transforms static slides and otherwise what might be visually boring presentations into full screen, full motion, tv-style presentations that create much greater impact and gain that "wow factor".
The Free 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio Trial Edition comes with 10 video backgrounds (5 in standard 4:3 format and 5 in widescreen 16:9 format) so you can quickly make professional presentations with the minimum of effort.
There are 3 licensed versions (different editions) available should you decide to license your application with the Deluxe Edition also allowing you to add and insert YouTube in PowerPoint and add any YouTube movie as a video background or to play as a full screen film with sound on any slide in your presentation.

Hi there, I have a self running powerpoint presentation which i would like to display different slides from as the presentation plays at random. The reason for this is that we are holding an exhibition stand at a conference center and rather than having a standard self running slide show rolling around from slide to slide, i would like random slides to be chosen so that the presentation is never the same. Thanks for any advice, powerpoint newbee
