Is there a way to set the presentation to run with a random progression of
slides?  I'm trying to set up a trivia/game show type of thing, where each
slide would be a question, but I don't want it to run in "order".

Any help would be appreciated!

Kajekat,
Maybe this is something you can use:

Thanks!  I tried the macro credited to Bill Dillworth, and it works great
except for one thing -- it allows repetition of slides -- I only want a slide
to appear once.  Any ideas?

That's because that's the hard part. Picking a random slide and going to
it only requires a couple of lines of code. Tracking where you've been is
much harder. Did you try Tushar's add-in? That is probably what you want.
The examples on the FAQ entry that point to my site also do what you
want, but are probably a little harder to imlplement than Tushar's add-
in.
