Greetings!

I'll try to be brief :). I work in the RNoAF as a staff Sgt, and hold daily
..ppt briefs in front of a large audience. Before each presentation, there
are usually 5-10 minutes of "wasted time" as people anter the room and find
their seats. During this time, it would be great if I could click a link or
button in the presentation that would take me directly to a picture
slideshow. The pictures would all be in a predetermined folder, but the
slideshow would have to be in random order so as to not be repetitive from
one presentation to the next.

Is there a way to create such a slideshow using Powerpoint or any other
software? Remember, it must be quick and easy to operate, and preferably
execute seamlessly from a Powerpoint presentation.


Best Regards

Looks like you need a Custom Show.

Slide Show / Start Slide Show group / Custom Slide Show / Custom Shows /
Custom Shows window should open / New

This should give you what you want once you have new up the Custom Show.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

Espedal,
Have a look here concerning the linking to another slideshow:

To randomize a slideshow you will need an add-in:
