I'm looking for a program where I can create my own flashcards and have them displayed randomly. I have tabletflash but would prefer to use type instead of ink, also, it tends to repeat the same cards. Powerpoint would be perfect, but I can't get it to do a random order. Any other programs out there?
Thanks.

Hi Cindy,
Have you tried the add-in at Tushar Mehta?

It only works with PowerPoint 2000 and above.

Mike, a very interesting site. Thanks.

Mike,
Thanks, that looks just like what I need, but I can't get it to load. I'm running office 2000 professional. Its only downloading a help file and a ppa file, not a chm file like indicated. Did you have any problems with this?
Thanks,

Cindy,

I tried this and it works well.

What I got with the download was a zip file with two files.
You extract these to a directory.
I put these in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\ADDINS

You will probably end up with yours in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE10\ADDINS
or something similar.

You should be able to double click on the chm file - that is the help file where it outlines the things you will need to do to get this working.

One thing to note: Before you can install it you will probably have to change the settings for macro security.
In PowerPoint go to:
Tools
Macros
Security

Change the settings to Medium


Then you will be able to proceed with the installation instructions with the help file.

Thanks,
It works great now. The macro security was the problem. This is exactly what I needed.
Thanks again.
