Version 4 supports the following Microsoft® PowerPoint® versions:
2013
2010
2007
2003
The Random Slideshow add-in requires PowerPoint 2000 or later.
The add-in allows one to create a PowerPoint slideshow in which designated slides are shown in random order. This might seem somewhat unusual, but there are many uses for such a presentation. While the original intent was for a memorial slide show, the add-in has many applications.
Version 4 introduces the ability to randomize groups of slides, where each group has the same number of slides. The slides in each group are shown in the original sequence while the groups themselves are shown in a random order. This is very useful if one has Q&A pairs with the first slide showing the question and the second slide containing the answer.
From Kathie O on October 20, 2011:
Thank you so much for your prompt reply, Tushar. I have
a ton of studying to do tonight, and I was counting on using
your program...
The Randomizer is great. I’m using it to make flash cards
chapter by chapter for my Econ and Spanish classes. It
makes memorization and mastery a lot easier and faster.
I’ve been sharing my slideshows with my classmates, along with a
link to your site and instructions to install. Hopefully,
you’ll get some more business.
Thanks for designing a very useful add-in.
A memorial, as originally planned
A show highlighting a city or a resort
A remembrance to a loved one
A tribute to an artist
